The only decent brace is one that fitted to welded mounts on either turrer. Otherwise there's too much flex in the mouting plates.

On a GTi subframe they do nothing. On a TU type subframe they might. i think they fitted one to the HDi GTi.

you have to drill a hole in the damn car!!!
If you really want to labour a point, you will weaken the structural integrity of the car by doing so
