Front strut brace?

[surcalation]

How effective would it be in preventing bodyroll on my car which may stop my wheels from catchin when cornering quick?

Don't want to higher my car so I am lookin at ways I can still take a corner quick and not have chunks of my tyres taken out.

Anyone got any ideas other then a strut brace?

This is how low it is:

Thought I'd make it an interesting picture

Eibach or Neuspeed Anti-Roll bars are what you need to prevent body roll
Mk2 Golf kit is what you need

a strut brace will just help to prevent what little 'twist' there is in the Chassis, apart from looking cool that is!

actually, wasnt there a threaad recently saying that we're best either softening the front to get more grip round corners, or using an ARB on the rear?

Let me know too. The rear is easy to get ahold of - Mk2 Golf GTi Neuspeed or H&R.
The front, for pre-facelift cars, isn't so easy. You can get one for the facelift Mk2 after 96 (?) but that doesn't fit the 93-96 model as the lambda sensor for the exhaust fouls the ARB. Unless anyone has any ideas?

Something called an angle grinder comes to mind

How about re-locating the lambda?

ps you weren't in your Chesil round Knaphill/Chobham on sunday evening were you?

Hmm, not sure - how easy is it to relocate the lambda?

Yep, I was in the area 5:30 - 6pm ish. I'd gone up to Windsor but it had started to rain, and I was heading home via Sunningdale and Knaphill.

Bill's advice to me was to run either a 25mm Neuspeed front with a 28mm Neuspeed rear, or a 23mm Neuspeed front with a 25mm Neuspeed rear. Another alternative is to fit the O/E Seat front tapered 23 - 20mm front ARB from the Cupra 1.8t with the 25mm rear.

Bill (userid ibizacupra) will be able to help and can fit the bits as well.
