What did you do to your mk7 today?

looks rather combative to ground clearance -

Ronnie = GTI
Wheeler = peaked drive entry

The bar is a no-go for us

I was worried about the clearance too but I'm stock height so the only thing I have to worry about is catching small animals for now.

I've tried a few lower rear braces:

Stern: Rubbed against the Neuspeed 25mm RSB
ECS: No clearance with my exhaust. Didn't want to sacrifice lowering exhaust for that.

I installed the TB Performace Rear Traction Bar...is nice.

That would drive me nuts, looks like it’s a full 2” lower than anything else

Dude, take that thing off. The downside severely outweighs the upside. It's for assholes. You're not one.

It feels right though. I didn't expect it to hang so low like muh balls, but I'll hold on to it until it's time for a suspension refresh. I wanted to lower it, but probably won't because I don't want to sacrifice comfort.

Does it actually make a noticeable difference?

Is there an actual demand for a version of these that fits properly?

Reason I ask is we’re a few days out on having CNC plasma cutting & 3D scanning capabilities literally two doors down.

It's not a drastic change but the car feels like it has less roll and feels more predictable without lowering the center of gravity if that makes sense. It makes the ride feel more "solid"...hard to explain.

That massive rock you're going to pick up tomorrow with it will also feel pretty solid.

Not bragging or anything, but I'm pretty good at avoiding massive rocks. Raccoon's, though? I have a radar for them.

Are RSB's that different? My stern brace fits with the H&R 26mm bar although it's tight.

I'm lowered, I'm pretty sure that traction bar would touch asphalt but hopefully it works for you. Would definitely be into the idea of a rear brace that fits better than the stern that isn't as low.
