I would very much appreciate some help in the department, Manaz.
I may be able to help with this - I already have contact with Bruce Levin (the UNIbrace guy)...
Nothing to see here...

Manaz did you notice a difference at all when you fitted it?
You could save me all these questions if you just swapped Boras with me
This is what I posted on another forum. I think I said something about it in the thread here about my car too:
Just to follow up on this for those of you wondering about this.
I can't speak highly enough of this item - of everything I've done to the Bora thus far, this would be the best bang-for-the-buck handling mod by far. Although I have a Bora which suffers less than the Golf from being a big box at the rear end, the difference this brace makes to the handling of the car is amazing - the rear end becomes much more progressive and controllable because rather than absorbing lateral forces for a while and then releasing them (like a spring winding up), the chassis is held together much more securely, and so the lateral forces don't build up and then surprise you.
If anything, you probably lose a little initial lateral grip - the rear starts to break away a little sooner - but it's much more progressive (and you feel it more accurately as well), so it's not a sudden surprise that you have to suddenly correct for, but rather a smooth transition that you can predict and account for more easily.
My experince is specific to the Bora V6 4Motion, and probably most accurately transfers to the R32 (Mk4 and 5) due to their similar AWD systems, but the FWD chassis will undoubtably benefit from a more predictable rear end, and the Golf even more so than the Bora due to the fact that the back end of the Golf is much more open and thus prone to deformation.

Well that's convinced me to add one of them to my shopping list for the near future! I would've thought the parcel shelf of the bora would've increased stiffness but clearly theres more room for improvement
Cheers Manaz. Can you remember what you payed to your door?
Yeah, the Bora's not as bad as the Golf, but the brace still makes a definite difference.
Not off the top of my head, no. Will try work it out/find the details. It was worth bringing two in, the shipping per unit is substantially cheaper that way.
I may be able to offer something soon to help locals out.

Ok, i've been given the price which is US$420.00 shipped, for 1 item. So if someone else is interested, i could probably get another 1 shipped with this package to keep it below $1000 and avoid GST, would probably save us a bit on shipping.
Also, does anyone have the heavy duty nutsert installer they'd be willing to lendout to me for a weekend?
