i've finally got round to putting a front lower strut brace on the mk2 :D (xmas present)
and it's pretty great, nice and flat throught the corners and well worth 30 odd quid
anyway was wondering if anyone had a rear upper brace on a mk2 rocco and if it's worth it?
cheers
Ben

Alright Ben, been a while dude.......
Yeah got one fitted to mine and personally I think they do make a difference. Best way I can explain it is, when you tank it round an island the back end feels more planted and less-inclined to swing out.
Either way, for less than £30 its gotta be worth it.

Hi,
The people from the ebay link don't do a lower front brace as I asked them before. I was hoping to be able to pick a rear one up to save on postage but it's postage only unfortunately. The rear one will fit a Mk2 rocco as the Mk1 Golfs and Mk1/2 Roccs are the same. I sold my OMP rear to someone with a Golf cabby.

rear definitely worth it. I have all 3 and there's a noticeable difference with all of them. i fitted them one by one in case you're wondering! By the way i have a custom front upper for sale specifically for the mark 2 scirocco built to accomodate the weber conversion on the carb but would also go on an injection. Fits under bonnet with no issues and doesn't interfere with the k&n if you have one on your car.
