ECS Tuning Rear Stress Bar Kit Stage 1 & Stage 2 - MK5/MK6
Our ECS Tuning Stage 2 Lower Stress Bar Kit adds further rigidity by connecting the lowest part of the hatch to our ECS Upper Stress Bar (ES3603700).
This stiffens the chassis in the rear of your Volkswagen MK5 Rabbit, R32 or MK6 Golf, GTI, Golf R in the area most prone to chassis flex during hard cornering or changes in road surfaces. Our Stress Bar helps to stiffen the rear chassis from undesired torsional flexing of the body which allows for faster turn-in speed and flatter cornering, while reducing chassis creaks and groans.
PART DESIGN

Lower stress bars are tied to the upper bar with a CNC-bent 5052 aluminum union plate and bolster block to provide adequate clamping force

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

Do we ship abroad ?
Yes we do, to almost anywhere in the world though remember the postage is often high when shipping anything bulky. Most bulky items we export will go by DHL so you can track the package online and could reach America within 48 hours providing its in stock !
However there are a few countries we do not ship to, some of these include: Israel, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, Nigeria, Macedonia, Syria, Ukraine, Lebanon.
Why is postage on bulky items to some countries expensive compared to some other companies ?
For both yours and our safety we use well known courier Parcel Force and DHL for shipping, then we know exactly where it is in the world at any time and we know its going to arrive safely. Shipping small items can be cheap, but items such as bodykits are expensive to ship - we have a very small margin on the postage fees merely to cover packaging. We can now ship using standard post on some items, however using all methods you may incur import charges when you receive the goods for which we cant be responsible for.
