Default Anybody add strut bars to a Quattro????

As I would assume that those who opted for a Quattro model [esp. a 2.8] are probably handling enthusiast, I was wondering if anybody added strut bars to the car, and whether or not it/they made any SIGNIFICANT difference in handling or ride quality.

AND anybody know if any B5's have an optional BOSE In-dash changer??

Typically on these, coilovers work great, and if you want even less body roll, you get heavier sway bars front and rear.

The extra firewall really does go right inbetween the strut mounting points, so I can see this making the car structurally re-inforced enough that a strut tower bar is not necessary.

I like your new sig better than the old, your car looks a lot nicer in this one.
