RacingLine Carbon Fiber Rear Brace – VW MK7/MK8 GTI & Golf R

Product Description

Upgrade your MQB/MQBe with a precision engineered rear body brace designed to stiffen the chassis and enhance handling dynamics. This RacingLine Carbon Fiber Rear Body Brace uses billet aluminium mounts and ultra stiff carbon link bars to lock the rear suspension towers together, reducing body flex and allowing the suspension geometry to work as intended. The result is sharper responses, improved cornering stability, and a ride that remains comfortable for everyday use.

Key Features

• Reinforces the bodyshell’s weak rear section for reduced flex under load
• Uses CNC machined billet aluminium mounting brackets for strength
• Employs 3K twill weave carbon fibre link bars for ultra high stiffness
• No drilling or trimming required: uses factory mounting points, fully reversible
• Compatible with seats up or down and retains practicality of trunk space
• Direct fit kit optimized for MQB/MQBe platforms
