Hi, i'm just after some quick advice, I just got my Philipm lower brace through the post and noticed there was something strange about it. I was wondering whether this is normal or not. It doesn't seem to be 'square', i'e you can sit in it a flat surface and it rocks quite considerably.    ________________________________________ team: Stealth |

Yep, it's deliberate to make sure there's some tension/pre-load on the brace once bolted up, they're all made like that.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Ann don't worry it's just because the car he modelled it on had a twisted subframe. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

As with any of these mods, don't expect to put it on and immediately notice your car transformed. However combine it with an upper brace, solid rear mounts, rich_w roller bushes and you'll notice a massive improvement  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

The front bushes are knackered, as are my top mounts, so i think the difference will be night and day. ________________________________________ team: Stealth |
