If we are talking about, what in the UK is called, a strut brace which fits between the top 
of front suspension turrets and a 4Q is what we call a ur-Quattro or a Coupe (I don't 
know about S2s), then Sparco produce a custom item, I think the part number is 
SSB03690 which cost approx ?100 including taxes, made of polished alluminium,
look great, but are a pig to fit!

If there is a clamor, I will check the part number and post UK sources for the item.

As an aside, does anyone have a translation between Audi US and Audi European
model nomenclature.  That way we might all stand a chance of singing from the same 
song sheet and be able to have sensible cross puddle conversations!
