Fitted my Seat strut brace

Featured Replies

Went on fairly easily - a bit tricky to line the holes up but it fitted ok.

is there a strut brace for the octy vRS ?

Is this an upper or lower front or rear brace, Mobtob?

I have an S3 front lower on order from vagparts - I'll post more when I get it.

Hi Nick, is that vagparts.com ?

Yes. PM me if you want details. I have suggested to Alan that they sign up and introduce themselves - they already gave me a club discount...

The SEAT brace is an Upper strut brace. I found the body a lot more taut than before when I fitted mine.

Yes, there is upper and lower for the octy. BUT you need to drill holes in the suspension turret to mount the upper one. Also available from VAGPARTS, we had a group buy recently, check out that section for part numbers.

As the Seat one doesn't require drilling the turrets can RooBoy or mobtob supply part nos and prices? I bought my lower S3 brace from local Audi dealer as more convenient and less cost of

Seems I was assuming this was for Octi rather than Fabia and no such part available for Seat Leon?
