    does not make sense though
    if you want to make a stiffer bar ,you make the whole bar thicker .
    on the other hand none of clio 16v or 19 16v s have this bracket either .

    do they exist on the 5gtt ?

    it's there to stiffen the bar by reducing the amount it can twist, and maybe also to dampen it against noise or vibration.
