    They do mention in their little description of the braces that it stiffens up the chassis without introducing any new nvh.

    Ok so I have replaced the front shock top mounts, no more rattles from the front! Woohoo.
    I did have some squeaking from the rear after the RSB install (4-5 weeks ago) but that has gone away after the bolts were rechecked.

    Callum, from Haines Mechanical and Detail, said the front shock top mount is a well known issue in the MQB platform.
    He's seen this issue affect cars with lowish mileage cars (eg. Golf R with 20k km) so it wasn't because my car had ~65k km on the clock.

    My car is "perfect" once again.

    I can't recall what brand but they're equivalent to OEM, thats what he recommended to me.

    ADDIT: it is an aftermarket OEM quality replacement by Lemforder.

    I am also wondering if is here any Owner with Tiguan or similar car installed and changed factory shocks with Koni Special active shocks ? Some close in deept detailed review and comparison difference versus vw factory shocks, from non DCC or DCC VW factory shocks I am very inersted . I never was happy with Factory shocks setup on new Tiguan 132tsi (non DCC ). Very harsh on even small bums and any imperfections on road , unless is road perfect wich is 1% here in Au. And even are to stiff hard setup handling is just like a boat , way to much float .Thinking upgrading to Bilstein B4 or even better Koni Special active. I recently get as Loan car Kia Sportage basic version, and was shocked how good handling and suspension is on this car is so good ! Even I don't like interior and would never before think of Asian car ,but after driving Sportage and discovering how good is Kia driving and handling with this even smaller engine compared to almost 20k more expensive Tiguan , I changed my mind! VW will be soon in big trouble if Kia get better design of interior simple and elegant style to match euro style ,VW will lose many customers!
