    I want to get a strut brace for the front of the golf, the one I had wouldn't fit with the 1.8t in (fouling the charge pipe).

    What have you fitted on yours?

    I think eibach ones fit but are rare enough and expensive[:s]

    Whichever brace you use, it must be welded in solidly, or have two bolts at the end connections.

    Braces which have a single bolt serve no useful purpose. The single bolt can take very little moment without slipping.
