weslangdon Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I've bought one of these, cheap as chips not difficult to fit but putting one on my Mini Cooper was a bit of a disaster so would like the opinions of others Aluminium strut brace for VW Lupo Front Top Polished 3 Pieces Adjustable | eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslangdon Posted June 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I fitted them to Mk 1 and Mk 2 Golfs and to my Sirocco 16v, with good results, many though made the mistake of putting them on a Mk1 Golf without fitting a lower brace to tie the wish bones together.

Why many though so? It has nothing to do with all other suspension, just increase stiffness for strut towers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeha Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 The inner wings on the golf are highly flexible. The braces make a huge difference but I imagine the Arosa / lupo chassis is much stiffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
