No idea if it's any good, but it looks like a straightforward installation and looks pretty good in place.

 

Looks pretty good. Any idea where this is available?

Sorry, no idea @Noms.

It did mean a bit of trimming the underbody trim to fit it, but it seemed to be a pretty straightforward fit. Mind you, he does have access to a proper workshop and seems to know his stuff.

There's a big Skoda following in India, so there are quite a few enthusiasts from India on YouTube.

Don't waste your money.

 

If they can't tell you how many millimeters the chassis is flexing before and after its BS.

 

And for the front brace they actually bolt it to the front sub frame. Doesn't the front subframe tie the chassis together there? A bit of flat plate isn't going to do anything.

This is a fair point. If you can't measure the improvement, how do you know there is an improvement?

As Legion said, you are better off with a front strut brace and probably a rear K brace if you want to add rigidity.  Also upgrading the anti-roll bars helps massively aswell.

Two points:

Firstly, forgive my cluelessness, but what is a K-Brace?

Secondly, I am very cautious about changing roll-bars and associated bushes whatever as they seem to one of those mods that can change the characteristics of the suspension very well in some regards, but can also introduce some undesirable and unwelcome characteristics.

I have been quietly toying with the idea of a front strut brace though, particularly after the remap as I had a bit of an "Ooh hello! What's going on here then?" moment during overtaking recently where the car felt a little off-balance (for want of a better description) under hard acceleration. Might have been a bit of torque steer, might have been traction control kicking in, might be something else completely. Dunno!

My two passenger were behaving normally (One with their eyes tight shut as they don't believe in overtaking and the other contentedly playing with their phone.) so I think it was more a feedback issue than the car actually getting out of shape. It was nothing to really worry about, but it might be the approx 230PS is a bit of a handful for the bog-standard 190TSI SE L suspension set-up to deal with.

I'd like to "improve" the suspension set-up, but I really don't want to lose any comfort, so I can see me doing nowt with it for some time.
