Does the AAT one fit over the 1.8 turbo engine cover, the diesel cover looks much flatter?

I through the engine cover out so no idea

On most car's it's the upper & lower front that are most important. I've only ever run a rear on 1 car (mk3 golf). Only noticed it when cornering hard going downhill. Made the rear feel a bit more solid.

I ordered the AAT upper strut brace in mid October - still waiting for it!

Don't worry, you'll get it eventually. Mine took almost 2 months to get in.

Ah right, ok.

I am also interested in a front upper ARB, but have a hesitation. What happens in case of a front side impact with another object / car? Since the arches are mechacicaly connected do we get both of them wrecked instead of only the one crashed?

Had my Neuspeed polished front upper strut brace fitted for a few weeks and I highly recommend getting it done. Immediately the car felt happier round corners, more solid, readable and pointy and better traction.

Had to hack into the Heatshield for the induction kit though so not as nice looking as Paulo's.

Can't wait to see what fitting the rear arb will do!!!!
:devil:

I would think that it would to some effect wack the other strut tower out of alignment. I say to some effect because the strut brace would eventually bend before causing too much damage to the other side.

Still waiting on my AAT strut brace!

Any news on the strut brace?

Please give us some hope that someone out there makes one, and can supply!...

I'm sure Erik said he'd have it by today as he was in Germany this week, and send it to me hopefully by Tuesday.

 

[RobDon]

Nope ... I'm still waiting, that's 2 months now since I ordered and paid for this strut brace, still not got it.

We are in the 21st century just now aren't we?

 

[LEO LION R]

That's outrageous, they must wait until they have a big enough order (ie 10 of them) and then manufacture them.

I was going to get the AAT one but i'm a bit wary of it now.

 

[RobDon]

Apparently, the problem is that instead of sending the brace out once it was done, the manufacturer waited until they finished a BMW roll cage before sending it along with the cage, so my brace has been sitting in their workshop until this cage is finished!!!

Erik at AAT said he would have my brace on Friday - so far I've heard nothing more, I've emailed him.
