Hi guys,

been reading up on strut braces in the forums (wicked stuff guys) but there aint really many comparisons....

i've been looking at the neuspeed polished strut brace and the audi s3 OEM strut brace. are there any better around?

oh i've been trying to find a site where i can buy the s3 but no luck.

any help appreciated!

Go to an audi dealer. The S3 is the cheapest way to do it.

or PM TDI_Boy as he has one he no longer requires............

 

[TDI_Boy]

Sorry, sold it yesterday....

 

[Milkfloat]

I think Foxy has one for sale in the classifieds. I have one for sale too, as I never got round to fitting it on my car, but will let Foxy have first sale.

 

[GeordieLife]

I'm after a pair of them too...so i'll take yours Milk...how muchy?

 

[Milkfloat]

hows ?35 plus p+p sound. That is the same as Foxy. I assume it fits the 2.0 engine, I think that certain engine covers rub.

 

[GeordieLife]

Which one is it? I was after both So whichever you don't have, i'll have to buy somewhere else

 

[Milkfloat]

I have the top for sale. That is the more expensive one. You can get either from your local Audi dealer.

 

[GeordieLife]

OK. Cool. Which fixings do I need? And how would you like to be paid?

 

[Milkfloat]

PM sent so as not to clog up the forum.

 

[Kaushik]

damn, lol seems like you got to it before me, no probs, will pop down to audi and will fit it over the weekend! seems simple enough []

 

[PJ52GLY]

I have the polished Neuspeed on mine, I did originally get the S3 brace but it just didnt seem right putting that on when I saw how good the Neuspeed looked.

You only live down the road from me if you want to see mine in person.

Ignore the coloured circles, I used this picture for something else.

 

[PJ52GLY]

did you fit that your self and did you get the lower too

 

[PJ52GLY]

still looks better than the dull black one

 

[GaryM]

Yes I fitted the top brace myself - piece of cake, I had the lower brace fitted by Awesome at the same time as fitting my front ARB.

 

[MK4 GTI TURBO]

Just to throw another one in I've got a D&W one.

This is actually of the N75 valve before I had the remap but it shows the brace more closely

 

[PJ52GLY]

so money will spent then i seen a lot of diffrent after my arb but i am still on standed dampers but 30 springs ebachs

 

[Kaushik]

cant argue with you there GaryM, it does look sweet...

will probably go for the S3 though, its cheaper plus i dont think i will be showing off my stock 1.6 16V much! its soo small compared to the 1.8T. Personal taste in the end and they probably both do as good as job as the other. thanks for the invite though mate []
