Eurocode front/rear chassis brace for daily driver?

[xXDavidCXx]

The stiffness translates to an improved steering feel on the street especially if you have an updated rear swaybar. I noticed an immediate difference with my XBQ brace and Neuspeed rear bar.

And the OP needs to decide if increased steering feel is worth $350 when there is no other measurable effect or benefit.

What suspension set up are you running?

Ohlin Road and Track coils w/400lb springs
Hotchkis front bar
034 rear bar
GC front camber plates

He's asking if it's worth it, I answered his question.

Get the rear...not convinced the front really does anything.

In my experience, this has been the opposite.

I would say yes, chassis bracing is really fun and makes the car handle so much better. I have ALOT of bracing done on my mk6, no regrets at all.

I had Unibrace XB, UB, Koni coilovers, and the largest H&R sway bars on my MK6. When one corner was jacked up, the car would teeter on a single wheel on the opposite corner.

hmm I have been eyeing these for a while now, not sure how the old lady gonna feel about dropping 350 on "stupid car parts". This is the first real test since we just linked accounts, pray for me

Be smart, if you can't explain how it makes your hobby better/faster/whatever, skip it.

I have both the front and rear braces and all the suspension mods you have plus camber mounts. If you aren’t autox/tracking I think you should spend the money on a JB4, stage 1 tune, lighter wheels, or stickier tires. The braces only made a minor improvement for me.

are you telling her they’re stupid? I’m going to guess it won’t help the argument lol

The quote is probably attributed to what she thinks about the parts, you all know I already agree, lol

Thanks. Do you feel that lighter wheel make that much of a difference for a daily driver? I happen to really like the look of the stock Austins
