For high-performance A1-chassis Volkswagens running 16V engines, this bar is the missing link in your handling equation. As torque and chassis demands increase, front-end flex becomes a real limitation—especially in older, lightweight unibody cars like the Mk1 Golf, Rabbit, and Jetta (but not Mk1 Scirocco due to its lower hood profile).
The Euro Sport Upper Front Stress Bar solves that by bracing the strut towers against compression loads. This design greatly reduces flex and twist of the front sheet metal under hard cornering, braking, or acceleration.
Construction & Design:
- Heavy wall 7/8" + 3/4" steel tubing
- 1/4" laser-cut steel mounting plates
- Fully welded and triangulated for maximum stiffness
- Finished in sleek, gloss black powder coat
- Includes all hardware and instructions
- True Mk1 bolt-on – no cutting, no drama, no compromise
Add one to your 16V build and feel the difference from the first turn of the wheel. This is chassis control without compromise.
Fitment:
VW Scirocco II 16v 1982-1988
VW Golf/Jetta Mk1 cars with 16v or 1.8T or VR6-12v conversion (depending on custom arrangement)
