Overview

The Racingline Carbon Fibre Rear Body Brace is designed to sharpen the handling of your Audi A3, S3, or RS3 Saloon. This brace reinforces the rear of the chassis, providing crisper turn-in, better composure under load, and a more connected feel. It locks the rear strut towers and key chassis mounting points together to stiffen this area significantly.
Show original supplier description
The Racingline Carbon Fibre Rear Body Brace is engineered to enhance the driving dynamics of your Audi A3, S3, or RS3 Saloon. By reinforcing the rear chassis, it addresses flex that can occur during hard cornering, which can otherwise disrupt suspension geometry and blunt response. This brace specifically targets the rear of the bodyshell on MQB platform vehicles, improving turn-in sharpness, stability, and driver feedback. The brace utilizes a combination of solid billet aluminum mounts and rigid carbon fiber link bars. This construction provides maximum stiffness without adding significant weight to the vehicle. The design also ensures that the added rigidity does not negatively impact ride comfort, as there are no reported increases in noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH) transferred into the cabin. The carbon fiber construction also presents an aesthetically pleasing engineering component visible in the boot. The brace attaches to existing body mounting points, requiring no cutting or drilling. Interior trim does not need to be permanently removed, allowing for a return to the original configuration if desired. The brace is also compatible with the rear seats in place, folded down, or removed, maintaining the full utility of the car's interior and boot space. This product is exclusively designed for the 4-door Saloon/Sedan body style of the Audi A3 (8V), S3 (8V), RS3 (8V), and RS3 (8Y). It will not fit Sportback (hatchback) or Cabriolet models.
