Seat Sport Strut Brace

[CupraOl]

In your opinion/experience, does it actually do anything (other than look nice)?

I've done a search and seen various opinions either way - will be interesting to hear what people have to say.

Thanks

imo it helped cut down the understeer when turning in at speed. and it looks pretty haha

i installed it after the car was only 2 weeks old and does help prevent so much understeer going into bends on standard suspension. I wouldn't take it off now that i have it if that's what you want to hear

ive got one now and its brill. very glad i bought it and very easy to fit.

yeah i think it works well with standard suspension, and with spacers too

Glad you said it's easy to fit! Going picking mine up this afternoon. I'll report back on whether it makes a difference to my handling

very easy to fit, and makes the engine bay a bit brighter and looks good, im putting the cupra suspension on mine so with them and mu cupra lower bushes it should be alot stiffer ;-)

Fitting was free as I done them myself (well I had to get the brother inlaw to finish the fronts off as I was in too much oain due to a trapped nerve).

Looks good i didnt think bout the Drop Links.

im guessing the AP from Awesome dont come with them :S

what ride like on the V-Maxx

Smee

 

[Damoegan]

Not sure if the AP ones require shorter drop links. But they dont come with them.

Ride is better then standard Cupra suspension, stiffer but not crashy. The V-Maxx ones are meant to be a little softer then the AP's.

Hmm ok that's some food for thought. I don't want some mega stiff car. This got to be my daily runner in city centre LOL

Come to my keeping the cupre thread before we get cained for off topic
