They are meant to stiffen up the chassis. The rear subframe isn't that beefy as standard. This bolts up between the weakest points. It's made of alloy so its light, but also surprisingly stiff.
I thing it would compliment uprated roll bars more than helping standard bars. We only ever had three sets, one went on a mk6 GTi, one on a Guatemalan Leon race car and the other on mine. I've not had a chance to push the car in the dry, but I could notice a difference in the wet (i drive quite hard in the wet still).
We don't deal with kmd any more so I can't even sell them. I would like to make some bars in t-45 rather than Ali as they would be even stiffer and just as light.

Well the race map is on now thanks to Kev and Nick at Revo. It's still a test map, but has a raised rev limit, allows for left foot braking, eliminates the torque cut on fast gearchanges and asks for max boost all the time.
So far so good as I only loaded it last night and logged on the way home. I think my rev d valve has sh*t itself as it won't hold the boost I want. My spare will be going on later and if that's not the issue then the actuator needs a tweek. Pulling 265 g/s on the maf with no timing pull. Peaking at 1.8 bar boost dropping to 1.4 at the redline. Still a little more in the turbo.
This is an ed30 in Romania with the race map and I think the hybrid that we did for them:
420 bhp on a dsg isn't bad!
Got the SAE terminals for my odessey 40 so that will be fitted once I've made up a suitable box for it. Sorting out some compbrake top mounts and some custom spring cups (drawings from danish :happy2:) then the TTS uprights that I've had for a while will get fitted too.

Is there an update for manual? :evilgrin:

I know that car. It's a close friend of mine (Cristian). It was a GTI, and he bought the K04 from a friend of mine also. So no hybrid in this one :D
420HP is impressive

The map can be written for anything (mine is manual) but I don't know if its going to be a full release file as its so aggressive.
