Our ECS Tuning Rear Stress Bar Kit stiffens the chassis in the rear of your Volkswagen MK7/MK7.5 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.

 

Our Rear Stress Bar Kit achieves all of these great benefits with little intrusion in the cabin, maximizing cargo area, while maintaining functionality with the rear seatbacks in all positions, with no noticeable increase in NVH. The entire assembly is easily removed in minutes and requires no permanent drilling or cutting into the body.

 

 

 

PART DESIGN

 

In-house designed and engineered in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility, using FARO ARM laser scanning technology for precise fitment 

 

STAGE 1 UPPER STRESS BAR KIT:

 

Mounting brackets effectively grab the inside of the rear seat latch anchor 

 

Mounting brackets are machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and are finished in a black anodized coating

 

STAGE 2 LOWER STRESS BAR KIT:

 

Mounting brackets replace the rear cargo tie downs and bolt directly into the body for a clean, simple solution. 

 

Mounting brackets are machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and are finished in a black anodized coating

 

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 

 

Upper and lower stress bars are made from heavy duty .120" wall DOM steel tubing, powdercoated in a tough wrinkle black finish and features a turnbuckle style adjustment for simple on-car tensioning

 

Total kit adds only 16 pounds

 

Heavy duty zinc-plated rod ends with LH and RH threads feature high quality bearings and locking jam nuts to secure final adjustments

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

 

By tensioning the body together in the largest void of the vehicle, body flex is reduced. This improves the handling of the vehicle by reducing understeer, in addition to allowing faster turn-in speed all while reducing common creaks and groans.

 

 

 

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

 

Our ECS Tuning Rear Stress Bar Kit was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing.

 

 

 

INSTALLATION AND SUPPORT

 

Need installation tips? We put together a full installation tutorial from start to finish. See our Installation PDF under the INSTALLATION Tab for more information. 

 

Permanent modifications are not required when using the optional set screw. However, for increased rigidity we recommend using the center bolt which requires drilling through the seat latch anchor and minor removal of welds as needed.

Velcro for folding?
The toy came folded in a bag very nice. However once I took it out I realized the folds were attached by Velcro. Once unrolled I have not needed to use the Velcro since. Just one piece of the toy that was unnecessary. Otherwise t the dot is very colorful and my dog has not been able to tear it up yet.

Great toy for moderately destructive dogs
Color: Dragon
My dog LOVES this toy. It's not hard to see why: it has just about everything a dog could want in a soft toy. There are ropes that move around, a squeaker, crinkly wings, and different textures of fabric. It's not extremely durable--I've had to sew up one busted seam within a month or so--and you will likely have to re-knot the ropes and pull them back through the holes, but if your dog is only moderately destructive, they will enjoy this. I'd buy another.

Dog Obsessed -- Toy a Mess
Color: Squirrel
The dog was OBSESSED. Truly loved this toy, but he ripped the little pockets really easily. While he still wanted to play with it, it was a little disappointing.

Cute toy
Color: Squirrel
My dog loved it! Looks just like the pics. Durable for most dogs I’m sure. My little dog can destroy anything though lol! Didn’t get to use the treat part cause he destroyed it but looks like a neat concept

Creative and well made!
Color: Squirrel
This is a great dog toy, durable, creative, and it kept my dogs busy and very, very interested. It's challenging enough, but not frustrating. Great for tug of war, too!
