    Rear strur brace

    Ausgolfer are you going to put a roll cage in yout Mk2 or just put in a rear strut brace because i know in some race classes like Improved Production the rear strut brace has to be part of the roll cage...

    Just if you are going to set the car up as a full time curcuit racer you wouldn't want to make the mistake...

    Just thought you might want to know that but if your not going to put a roll cage in it dosen't matter...

    I would also suggest you have a look on the Cams website to check what they say about rear strut braces...

    Finally are you going to run eyelets so you can bolt the race harnesses to??

    Cheers James

    It's a street car that I would like to and have done group 5 track days in, I won't put a cage in it. But thanks for the consideration.
