Racingline Carbon Fiber/Fibre Rear Brace Body Strut Bar VW Golf MK8 R GTI 5 Door
Want
to sharpen up your Golf MK8 handling responses? Our
beautiful billet and carbon Rear Body Brace reinforces the bodyshell at
its weakest point for a more precise and pleasurable drive.
Modern
cars like the Golf MK8 run a pretty stiff laser-welded body-shell.
Up front, the chassis is very rigid between the suspension tops, but at
the rear there is much more chassis flex which negatively affects
vehicle handling in hard use, especially when combined with stiff
suspension or under the sort of loadings that track use puts on the car.
The new RacingLine Rear Body Brace solves this issue by locking the
crucial hard points together.
By reinforcing and tying the rear
strut towers together, the brace helps to maintain proper suspension
geometry under heavy cornering loads. Remove the body-shell flex, and
the suspension geometry can work as it was designed to do. Despite the
added stiffness, this improved handling performance comes without
sacrificing any ride quality or introducing any additional noise,
vibration, or harshness into the cabin.
The clever design means
that installation is simple, using existing body mounting points with no
drilling needed and no removal of trim required, and is completely
reversible. RacingLine haven’t forgotten about practicality either. The
brace is compatible with rear seats in either the up or down position,
and due to the slim profile, boot space is almost unaffected. Even the
load tie-downs have been incorporated into the lower mounts. Track your
car on Sunday, school-run on Monday!
