Racingline Carbon Fibre Rear Body Brace for Audi A3/S3/RS3 (8V) Saloon/Sedan – VWR8130S3-SEDAN
Sharpen your Audi A3, S3, or RS3 (8V) Saloon/Sedan’s handling responses and experience a more precise and pleasurable drive with the Racingline Carbon Fibre Rear Body Brace. This beautifully engineered brace reinforces your car’s bodyshell at its weakest point, transforming your driving dynamics.
Why Your Audi Needs a Rear Brace
Modern cars with stiff chassis, like those built on the MQB platform, are incredibly rigid at the front. However, the rear of the chassis can exhibit significant flex during hard cornering. This body flex negatively impacts your suspension geometry, especially when paired with stiff suspension, and reduces the precision of your handling. This is why even performance-focused cars like the Golf Clubsport S receive a factory-fitted rear brace.
The Racingline Rear Body Brace is the ultimate solution to this problem. By locking crucial hard points together, it drastically stiffens the rear of the chassis.
A Fusion of Form and Function
This brace is a masterpiece of engineering, featuring solid billet aluminium mounts connected by beautiful, ultra-stiff carbon fibre link bars. This construction not only looks incredible but also provides maximum rigidity with minimal weight. By tying the rear strut towers together, the brace helps maintain proper suspension geometry under heavy cornering loads, allowing your suspension to work exactly as it was designed to.
Despite the significant increase in chassis stiffness, this upgrade achieves enhanced handling without sacrificing ride quality or introducing any additional noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH) into the cabin.
Seamless Integration and Easy Installation
The clever design of the Racingline Rear Body Brace ensures a simple, non-intrusive installation. It utilizes existing body mounting points, so no drilling or removal of interior trim is required. The installation is also completely reversible. The brace is compatible with rear seats up, down, or removed altogether, allowing you to maintain your full interior.
Compatibility
This brace is specifically designed for 4-door Saloon/Sedan models:
- All Audi A3 (8V) – 4-door sedan
- All Audi S3 (8V) – 4-door sedan
- All Audi RS3 (8V) – 4-door sedan
- All Audi RS3 (8Y) – 4-door sedan
ONLY for the 4 door sedan models – No cutting or drilling is required for fitment, so this modification is completely reversible.
