{"product_id":"rear-stress-bar-kit","title":"Rear Stress Bar Kit","description":"The ECS Tuning Rear Stress Bar Kit is engineered to stiffen the rear chassis of the Volkswagen MK5 Rabbit, R32 and MK6 Golf, GTI, and Golf R, targeting areas prone to flex during aggressive driving. By reducing undesired torsional body movement, this kit enables faster turn-in speeds and flatter cornering while simultaneously reducing interior rattles and squeaks.\n\nConstructed for precision, the Stage 1 upper brackets are machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum with a black anodized finish, securing to existing seat latch anchors without drilling or cutting. The Stage 2 lower assembly replaces the rear cargo tie-downs and utilizes .120\" wall DOM steel tubing, powder-coated in a wrinkle-black finish.\n\nPlease note that for MK5 Rabbit, GTI, and R32 models, minor trimming of the carpet is necessary for the installation of the lower mounting brackets. The system uses a turnbuckle-style adjustment mechanism for on-car tensioning, ensuring a secure and precise fitment across the supported chassis.","brand":"ECS Tuning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52664205312312,"sku":"024773ECS03KT","price":445.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687078733.webp?v=1784335147","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/rear-stress-bar-kit","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
