Title: Heads up on another Unibrace group buy including the new RB
Post by: bacillus on November 09, 2012, 08:46:12 am

Got an email from Bruce@Unibrace alerting me to an ongoing group buy on the golfmk6.com forum of all three products.

.
I've read UNIbrace's tester's report/opinion about the RB but I'm not sure about what it would add being worthwhile for a fast road car if you already have the XB and UB. Probably much more benefit if doing trackdays.

I have to admit that I wasn't at all sure about the XB and UB until I tried them but does the RB add something you can really feel? The jury is still out for me and I need more evidence.

RR go for it I know you're tempted!

 :signLOL:

This modding thingy never ends!

XB and UB unibraces are great piece of kit! Highly recommended

....My experience is that the XB delivers the most tangible effect, followed by the UB.

My understanding is that the RB is like an extension of the UB but that it influences the rear suspension more.

I wondering if having the Rear axle cover (#4 on picture) will be an issue with a RB

i thought it would because... 5 Door MK5 Golf Seats will fit in a MK2 Leon so surely the back is the same where the XB would mount but i could never get anybody to confirm this
