    Are these the ones that attach to the subframe? If they are I wouldnt think theyre useful since the subframe is pretty solid itself, replacing worn swaybar bushings would give a better feel to the car one would think.

    I'm confused as to where they bolt on too. I've heard people call them tie bars too. Being a "strut" bar I initially thought they braced the strut towers, just at a lower position (though I wouldn't know how that would physically work).

    they connect to the front control arm pivot points from memory? A worthy upgrade on most VWs for sure! especially mk1s

    They fit across the wishbone pivots at the front and bolt onto the subframe too. I had one on my G60, no mega obvious improvement in handling was noticed.
