Eurocode MK7 Golf/GTI & 8V FWD A3 Front Strut Chassis Brace
Most modern unibody vehicles utilize Macpherson strut assemblies. The MK7 GTI happens to be one of them. This design leads to the entire load of the vehicle's suspension to be transmitted to the upper strut towers. Ultimately the chassis flex that is induced during high performance driving or uneven roadway surfaces alter the static camber, toe and caster settings. These changes can change the steering response and make handling less predictable.
Our Front Strut Tower Brace is designed to tie the upper parallel strut tower assemblies together under load, thus enhancing steering precision and reducing understeer. It fits perfect on the MK7 Golf and GTI and has a stealth appearance, tucked away under the factory cowl cover.
