WHAT DOES THE BODY BRACE DO?
Modern cars like the MQB & MQB EVO platform run a pretty stiff laser-welded bodyshell. Up front, the chassis is very rigid between the suspension tops, but at the rear there is much more chassis flex which negatively affects vehicle handling in hard use, especially with stiff suspension. That’s why the Clubsport S Golf gets a factory rear brace.
The new RacingLine Rear Body Brace solves this issue by locking the crucial hard points together.

NEW!
Thin, low-profile design means minimum impact on boot space and no effect on rear seat operation.
EASY INSTALL/REMOVE
Clever design means fitting is quick and simple. Completely reversible without trace for removal.
NO DRILLING
No cutting, no drilling needed. By cleverly re-using the strongest parts of the body, there’s no need to modify.
PRACTICAL
Compatible with rear seats up or down, and we’ve even added in the luggage tie-downs into the mounting points.
LIGHTWEIGHT
A ruthless approach to weight-saving. Billet aluminium mounting brackets bonded to ultra stiff 3K twill carbon link bars.
ADJUSTABLE
Every mass-produced car body has small differences in dimensions. The brace is tensioned after fitment for ultra-tight alignment to your car.

These two models require the rear boot carpet to be trimmed in order to mount the rear brace.
