    Lower braces used to be essential on MK1 Golfs due to the design of the shell. The chassis legs were pretty long and unsupported. VW even fitted their own brace on late Cabriolets and the 16V Scirocco.

    I don't know that the Polo would need one for the street. I had one on my G60 Golf but you'd need to be pretty sensitive to feel any difference.

    I agree with that , the chassis is very differnet on the Polo and short, i dont think you would find much benefit there, but thats only my opinion, and Anthony has opened it up for some feedback, so be good to hear what you all think.

    Hoyhoy.

    Me very much like the look of this, I have some tailermade (solid hard rubber) front bushes in the control arm & I'm still not happy even though its better, even thinking of getting solid metal ones made up. but this COULD be the answer to cover a few weaknesses.

    Hehehe Brutal my word Eddy. Good piccies mate. I would love to send them to powerflex, they would have a fit.
    You do need solids, done a few on 911. That makes a car like a brick though.
