Title: Rear suspension differences on EOS

Whilst browsing this morning I noticed that the rear suspension on my EOS has a few differences compared to the Golf. Namely the two radius rods going from sills to rear sub-frame and the addition of extra bracing on the subframe itself. The Golf convertible, A3 convertible and TT soft top share this configuration so it's obviously to do with not having a full box body. Can anybody explain how this might work please, I can't really see what it can do but wtfdik? :stupid:

Regards,
John

It will be to stiffen up the rather wobbly models  :signLOL:
