I recently purchased and installed this traction bar on my 2017 GTI Sport. Shipping was fast and build quality is phenomenal. Without sounding too hyperbolic, it fundamentally transforms the steering, ride, handling and sense of solidity of my GTI. On my first real drive home I blew right past my house after a long shift and hit the winding back roads because I didn’t want to stop driving. My suspension is bone stock with 50K miles and I have an APR tune with around 320 hp and 350 lbs/ft of torque, Golf R brakes with EBC Redstuff pads, DSG tune and the LSD. That’s a TON of power and torque for a FWD car with Michelin Pilot All-Season tires and I never need to think twice about holding any of it back. Remarkably, understeer is reduced significantly and mid corner grip is immense with no need for mid corner corrections (on a stock suspension remember!). The beauty is you don’t even have to push hard to feel the improvement. Just cruising around town you can feel how locked in the front end feels with no detrimental NVH. High speed cornering is confidence inducing. The suspension absorbs bumps better too. This is a criminally overlooked mod with literally no downsides. Strut tower braces are a waste of money with barely noticeable results. THIS is where you need to start. I’d argue it’s just as beneficial as a good set of coilovers and sway bars but in a different yet equally important way.
