Euro Sport Upper Front Stress Bar - VW Mk5 Golf/Jetta/Rabbit, VW Mk6 Golf/Jetta/GTI/Golf R
SKU: 18081
Stress bars are an important bolt on for all water-cooled VW 's, whether it's for street or competition use. The design of our upper-front stress bars help to eliminate the roll and twist of the front sheet metal frame. Construction consists of heavy wall 1" diameter steel tubing and is welded to 1/4" thick steel mounting plates. Finished in gloss black powder coat.
Euro Sport upper-front stress bars require no cutting of the firewall or body modifications. Unlike some of our competitor's bars, ours are true bolt-ons which only require drilling 4 holes! Our stress bars are designed and manufactured to fit properly!Hardware and installation instructions are included. Requires drilling four small holes.

Upper front strut brace
From purchasing it to installing it I am satisfied, fast shipping and a pretty straight forward install took maybe half an hour
Stiffens up chassis instantly
I can't say how this work by its self because I installed it with the Euro Sport lower front brace at the same time and all I can say is Wow!! I have the Öhlins coilovers and H&R sway bars installed on my 2012 Golf R and without these bars the car felt like it had way too much body movement. I stalled these and the front just feels solid and the only movement I feel is from the change in road surface. I can really feel.what the car is doing now. Definitely going to buy the rear brace also now. So happy with this purchase.
Great product
Great install take your time on the marking and drilling the holes works amazingly well

Thanks for your feedback Edward :-)
Great fit, super helpful staff
I wasn't sure if this would fit on my mk5 rabbit, so they offered to have me come by the shop to find out. Because I have an aftermarket intake, it fit perfectly. Raffi was super helpful and even gave me instructions and hardware for multiple mounting solutions. I ended up going with their stock solution and it was pretty quick to get in. It looks great and definitely adds stiffness up front.
