That's great to hear :-) Much appreciated Ki!
Easy Install - Noticeable Stability
I was concerned I might not have the tools or basic knowledge to install this. It was 4 bolts, a 12mm and 13mm socket. The plastic cover has three easy to remove clips (I used a pick, but you could probably pull them off with pliers). The cover can be propped up with a couple of flip flops to slide in the stress bar. Overall, super easy install and the front end feels a bit more planted with spirited driving. This was installed on a 2016 Golf that was having some creaking come from the front end while going over speed bumps/potholes. It eliminated the sound almost entirely.

Glad to hear this worked well for you! Thanks Nicholas :-)

Great addition to my Seat Leon Cupra 5F
Great product, oozes quality. The installation instructions were pretty clear and I did not bump into any issues. The car feels definitely more solid now. Model: Seat Leon Cupra (MQB fwd, ea888 engine, is38 turbo ; essentially a cheaper mk7 golf gti clubsport)
GreeceShould’ve come from the factory like this!
Things I’ve noticed flying around the parkway: 1.) more grip 2.) more *consistent* grip on bumpy road conditions. 3.) Before, when I went over road imperfections, I’d get this shimmy and noise that I kept blaming on the road. No more noises. 4.) no more creaking during articulation over driveways. 5.) Turn-in is WAY more predictable. You can more accurately judge to how much turn-in you’ll need, especially on lopsided roads. 6.) The car feels more expensive now. Nothing bothers it. WAY less NVH… 7.) The strut bar simply lets the stock suspension do its work. Before, on “normal mode”, the suspension felt harsher, because a bump would go up the shock and quickly into the chassis, so the damper couldn’t “finish up with damping.” Now, normal feels softer because the damper has the time to work. 8.) Before it felt like the front wheels were held together by a rubber band. I didn’t want to say anything and blamed the roads. Now I can ***** about it because it’s fixed lol! Honestly, there is zero downside to this mod. I cannot recommend it enough. It feels like the car was missing a critical structural part before I installed this.
United StatesNoticeable Upgrade
Install was fairly easy. And there was an immediately noticeable improvement in steering feel and tightness, as well as less lean in the corners. I would highly recommend this product

Thank you Victor :-)
Wow
This was a great addition to my MK7 GTI !! The front end now plants and loads up immediately. Point, plant, turn in. In the past it was point, kinda plant and wait , then turn. Major difference. Fun factor increased by 75% when driven aggressively. Highly recommended for spirited driving

We love your feedback Michael :-) Thank you
Tangible benefits that are worth the value.
Installed in 15 mins on a 2021 GTI. There were tangible increases in turn in response, reduction in camber loss mid-corner, and an increase in steering feel. It doesn't transform the steering into a manual rack, but some tactility gets past the filtering that the EPS tries to eliminate. The most noticeable scenarios are when loaded up on high speed off ramps, or when hard winds push laterally on the car on the highway; you can feel how the tire moves, weights up or wants to self-center.
