I’ve had the new RHD x-brace on for roughly a week. I’ve had it fitted after reading all the hype on the US forums for years and everybody saying it’s a must have modification. I was a bit sceptical as I’ve done absolutely everything else possible on the front end so wasn’t sure how much of a difference it would make but thought surely 100’s of people with LHD cars can’t all be wrong?
All I can say is wow! It’s a beautifully engineered piece of kit and it’s a shame you can’t see it once fitted.
As soon as I set off from having it fitted at Awesome Gti the difference was clearly felt. The steering feels so much more direct and precise, there's more weight to the steering and the increase in front end feel is massive!
I would think that on a car with less modifications the difference would be even greater.
My main criticism with my B8.5 has always been the steering and front end feel, hence me having KW V3’s, CR15 brace, the front end fully Polly bushed etc. Of all things I’ve done though, the brace has changed the steering feel more than anything else.
