The clearance was my biggest worry about this ... if you're already low it worries me about getting over speed bumps and curbs. Let us know how it is after having it for a while!

Yeah, I'll have to see how it does. I'm just on Z front/Coupe rear spring setup, so I'm not as low as a lot of you guys. I'm hoping it won't be too bad. It'll be worth it even if I have to deal with an occasional slight scrape. I'm stoked about the more rigid feel though with the Dustball Rally coming up in a couple weeks.

FYI...it definitely will scrape. I've only got a mild drop with the Z front (1")/Coupe rear (1/2") springs, and if I don't .CRAWL. over speed bumps, I will scrape. The front suspension cannot compress at all coming off the bump. Otherwise I haven't had any issues, so I've left it on. The performance gain is worth it. I just may have to take it off when I go to lower a lower setup one of these days.

i've been meaning to pull the trigger on this cause i heard it feels great on top of all i have, but clearance was my concern. topspeed is like 2 mins from me, so i can just go pick it up... i guess you can think of it as an extra shield between your car and the bumpy road, hahaha!

Keep in mind that I don't have any other braces. So if you've got a strut tower bar or any other lower chassis bars, the extra rigidity may not be as noticeable.
