    I'd take out the struts and then drill those holes, put on some rust kill. Install the bar with washers on the under side, then put the struts back in.

    The bar is designed to stop the top of the strut towers from folding in towards each other by stiffening the chassis. Its arguably pointless on a mk4 and not many people run them. Supposedly a sub frame brace is more worth it.

    Would it make a difference? Isn't it meant to be holding onto the the actual struts? Doesn't make a difference if it's on the car chassis, does it?

    Lol at how high your strut hats are... Maybe some new strut top mounts are more beneficial.
