The all new Rear Body Brace fits all Golf 7 & 7.5
models, whether 3dr, 5dr or estate. It uses solid billet aluminium
mounts secured into beautiful, ultra-stiff 3K-twill carbon fibre link
bars to drastically stiffen the rear of the chassis.
Modern
cars like the Golf 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!
