I was considering this autotech brace for my Rabbit just because it directly 
ties the rear control arm joints together. Now, normally I don't think this 
would be a concern, but I was thinking that will more than twice stock power, 
it might be. It seems like a much cheaper alternative to just bolt a peice of 
flat steel between the rear joints to tie them together and stop the joints 
from pulling apart (which would be what they would be trying to do under 
power). Am I making sense here?
