As above, can anyone suggest an aftermarket front strut brace? Some people tell me an Audi A3/S3 brace will fit straight on, others say it won't??? Strutbracer have one for the standard Octy, will this fit?

It will fit straight on, after you have drilled some holes

It will fit straight on, after you have drilled some holes

Is this for the standard Strutbracer one or the Audi one?

I understand the S3 one does. Can be fitted using rivnuts to help avoid the hassle of tightening nuts underneath the strut. Not done it yet but will be purchasing and fitting one to my SEAT Toledo V5 soon.

The Audi S3 brace fits straight on. You need to drill 3 holes in each suspension tower, and just bolt on. I had one on my old vRS and it transformed the front end.

might be worth clarifying if talking about upper or lower brace. Lower one goes straight on. Costs about

There isnt a standard lower one.

The lower one is from an S3/TT/LCR.
