Buy sway bars there's a Suspension Techniques Kit for around $300 Not sure it its good or not maybe do some research and find out. but more then likely a big upgrade for the car.

Or Tanabe but im not sure on the price of those or the qaulity on ethier product.

Wierd, like I said in the UK rear strut bars make a night and day difference to the handling of the MKiii, its the first modification people recommend for an aerotop, guess we just have more corners ^^

IDK im sure that's not 100% the case Buddy.

I am pretty sure the guys on here are not just blowng some smoke up your butt. And there's some research and truth to what there saying.

but listen if you will if not i gues it's your money spent.

well there is a test to see if your strut bars do something.

take the bar off, and make a paper gasket thats the same as the bar mount. bolt it all back up and take it for a spin, then pull the bar off. if the paper is torn or marked up, then it is doing something. if its not damaged, the bar is doing nothing.

If any of u would have taken a mk3 apart u would relize u dont need a rear strut bar cause the car has one built in from the factory.......

The raised part between the shock towers is actually not the floor. Thats all added structure just to reinforce the rear shock towers.
