Re: Strut brace users respond please....

Hi Robert!
I installed a self meade aluminium strut brace on my 82 Coupe and 
identical one on my 84 4kq.  They have simular strut towers to the 
once on your car.  The problem I found is that every time you want to 
take the battery out you have to remove the brace.  I do not presume 
you want to take your battery out often.  Just becouse of it I moved 
my battery to the trunk.  It makes a lot of difference in underhood 
space.
As for the bar I only noticed a difference with sticky tires.  It 
improves the responce when you crank the steering and  improves 
the steering feel while around tight, bumpy corners.
Overall a worthy improvement for me (didn't pay anything for them).
Good luck finding one if you can't have one made (I don't know who 
makes bars for Audi).
Have fun.
