Hello everyone, I need some help about front strut brace. Can I fit a strut brace from any other model of VAG to my fabia? for example golf mk4? and what does adjustable mean?

Search millions of threads.

Best option is a seatsport brace from an 02 ibiza! £44 from Seat - bargain

Its non adjustable

alternatively forge do an adjustable one for £60 I think

but it rattles on the engine cover

Alternatively, don't buy one, 'cos they do nowt.

Save up for a rear arb instead.

Ok thanks mate

The do a little, think its unfair to say they do nothing, i have noticed a vast improvement

Much tighter on turn in, IMO. Look nice too.

Proper tyres and a better line to the corner work just as well....trust me.

A rear arb makes a vaster improvement bang for buck.

Well its the only handling mod i have done thus far to my fabia so i have isolated the product and i think it improves the turn in, understeer and tightens up the front end.

Suppose we will agree to disagree

I must admit it's a placebo thing..

If enough people tell you it works,then it does.

For £40 it looks nice, but personally I wouldn't have another, unless it was dirt cheap.

Splash out fella, on a rear arb, and you will feel a great improvement, and keep the strut brace for aesthetics.

The change i noticed was vast, maybe i'm just an oddball, i felt so much safer driving the car and confident.

I am saving up for a RARB but in the meantime i have some eibachs and cupra bushes to go on which should content me for a while

The bushes make all the difference tbh, after all they are the things that affect your steering input.

The best comparison would be to take off the brace after your new bushes are fitted, drive it, and put it back on, and you ( imho) wouldn't know it was on.

Or better still get a friend to either remove it or leave it on without telling you which and see if you can tell the difference. I'm with Grumpy, save your cash

RARB does make a hell of a lot more difference.

Cures the 'VAG wobble', which is something I found quite unsettling on my Fabia.

Both our A3's have it too, hence the reason I called it that :(
