4-Point Lower Stress Bar (MK1)

For the money, a lower front stress bars is the most cost-effective way to improve A1 chassis vehicles. (That is, Rabbit/Golf, Jetta, Scirocco, Pickup, etc.) The improvements in structural rigidity and steering responsiveness are amazing. Nothing else delivers so much value. In fact, other modifications don't even work properly unless the front end is braced first.

Newer chassis cars (A2 forward) rely upon rigid subframes to locate the control arms and control fore/aft drivetrain movement. The A1 cars mount the control arms directly to the unibody's "frame horns". These flex under cornering load which changes suspension geometry for the worse. They are also succeptible to bending and cracking after years of hard impacts.

FIX THIS NOW.

The factory equipped each Scirocco 16v with a very similar bar because triangulation = strength. -a "mandatory" source of handling and control gains. For final improvements invest in an upper brace. The lower is priority and upper serves as finishing touch. 

Note: RED color option is expected in early 2026.
