Packaged nicely, bolts and bars are gorgeous. Extremely fast shipping.

Update. Apparently pre-21 (in Taiwan at least) doesn't have the threaded rear bolt sockets. Armaspeed quickly sent me two rear bolts so you don't have to use bolt/locking nut to bolt down rear. Either option is available for however depending on your MKV is setup. Again super happy with fit/finish and customer service on these.

Nice! How does the car handles after the braces are installed?

I had stock braces in my 2021 so handling is the same but I'm sure the difference in 2020 and below especially on cornering old help the natural flexing stiffen. Made a huge difference on my frs.

I wished they offered a cross over brace that tied into the strut braces.

The cross brace on the cusco/blitz isn't fixed is it? It looks like it is more for looks as it can pivot inside the vinyl grommets on the connection. Not sure if you would gain anything more as these are mounted to a crossbar essentially.

It depends on how hard you crank down the bolts. ? I don't see how it could pivot - I have the Cusco brace on my '21, and while I'm not a big fan of the blue, the cross brace in the front does see to make a difference. It feels much "sharper" and turn-in feels better.
