Volkswagen MK1 X-brace
The Ultimate Chassis Upgrade for the Volkswagen MK1: The "X-brace"!
This X-brace connects and reinforces the mounting points of your control arms. While modern cars solve this with a subframe, the MK1 relies entirely on its chassis rails, making this upgrade a significant improvement!
The X-brace noticeably enhances handling by eliminating chassis flex and preventing unwanted changes in wheel alignment. Additionally, it evenly distributes forces across the body, preventing cracks and extending your car's lifespan.
Our X-brace offers a unique solution by maintaining ground clearance. Many other braces hang too low under the car, often hitting obstacles like speed bumps. This can cause damage and is particularly detrimental to cars over 35 years old.
The X-brace is entirely manufactured in the Netherlands from RVS304 stainless steel, TIG-welded for a stunning finish and exceptional durability. Reinforcement triangles ("gussets") add extra stiffness and strength, ensuring superior performance compared to similar models.
To maximize ground clearance, the brace is mounted higher than usual. On some models, this may result in the exhaust coming into contact with the X-brace. Refer to the final image to check for compatibility.
Note: For vehicles with a stabilizer bar, the tab on the bracket must be bent using a hammer.
