Overview

The Racingline Rear Body Brace is a performance enhancement for MQB and MQB Evo platforms. It is constructed from aerospace-grade T6-6061 aluminum mounting brackets bonded to 3K twill weave carbon fiber ultra-stiff link bars. This brace stiffens the car's body to provide a more precise and pleasurable drive.

Show original supplier description

By reducing body flex, the suspension geometry can operate more effectively, especially under heavy cornering loads. The brace is constructed from CNC 5-axis machined billet aluminum mounting brackets paired with ultra-stiff 3K twill weave carbon fiber link bars, optimizing stiffness while minimizing weight. This brace offers a significant improvement in driving dynamics without compromising ride quality or introducing unwanted noise. The design is compatible with rear seats in either the up or down position, and even if they are removed entirely, allowing for full interior utilization. The brace locks into cargo tie-downs and utilizes rear seat mounts for its top mounts. Fitment is confirmed for a wide range of Volkswagen Golf 7 & 7.5 (3-door, 5-door, and wagon), Golf 8 (5-door), Seat Leon III (3-door, 5-door, ST Wagon), Seat Leon IV (5-door), Skoda Octavia III (5-door, Wagon), and Skoda Octavia IV (5-door). For Audi applications, it fits the 8V A3/S3/RS3 (3 & 5-door Sportback), 8Y RS3 (5-door Sportback), 8V A3/S3/RS3 (4-door Sedan/Saloon AWD Quattro models only), and 8Y A3/S3/RS3 (4-door Sedan/Saloon AWD Quattro models only). Please note that Leon and Octavia models require the rear boot carpet to be trimmed for installation. The brace is explicitly not for 4-door sedan models of the Audi 8V/8Y, nor is it to be used as a mounting point for seatbelts or racing harnesses.
