| Re: S3 lower strut brace When I bought mine a few years ago it was £13.20 inc vat from an Audi main dealer. Looks like a similar thing is happening with the S3 lower strut brace price as happened with the Seat PD160 intake.

| Re: S3 lower strut brace Thinking of doing this mod myself soon too, is it worth doing? does it stiffen the front end up noticably?

| Re: S3 lower strut brace I cant notice the diff. get a RARB on and you def notice. I personally cant see how just the lower brace does anything, I think it needs the upper one to go with it. not too sure.

A rear ARB makes a much more noticeable difference.
