SUMMIT & SWAVE Front Upper Strut Brace for VW Golf GTI & R MK8

Technical Data

What does a chassis brace do?
They are designed to improve the structural rigidity of a car’s chassis by reducing unwanted flex. Using existing bolt locations in crucial pick-up points throughout the chassis, reinforced braces tie these points together for strength. This reduces the possibility of flex and as a result the car will feel more responsive to steering inputs, improving handling feel and driving experience.

Why SWAVE & SUMMIT?
Unlike others on the market, SWAVE & SUMMIT braces are not simply hollow steel tubes. Instead, each brace is made from aerospace-grade aluminium and features a monocoque construction with internal strengthening beams that run throughout, making them exceptionally strong and incredibly light.

About SWAVE & SUMMIT
Founded in 1998 by former racing driver Mr T Hsieh, the company initially began specialising in developing parts for racers, high-end tuners and performance specialists within the Asian/Eurasian territory.

The brand quickly gained recognition and production was scaled up to cater for a much wider range of parts and applications. The company has its own Research and Development centre so products can be thoroughly tested in-house before launch. All parts are made from the highest-grade materials and are constructed using cutting edge automated machinery.
