Question Who rubs with their GT Spec braces?

Hi guys,

ok I probably should post this in the suspension section but I don't feel like it'll get as much attention.

All I want to ask is who here faces rubbing issues with their GT Spec braces, and Mainly on the following braces:

4 Pts Subframce Brace
Front 2Pts Subframce Brace
Rear 6Pts Subframce Brace

These are the 3 braces that I'm worried about, the 6pts one seems to hang the lowest but what about the 4pts front subframe brace, does anyone rub with these? The roads here are horrible and I'm just scared that one day I'll drive over a bumpy road that'll RIP OUT my whole bottom end it gets me nervous. Any help would be appreciated.

i will let someone who has these pitch in their correct expert view.

But i dont think that any of those braces will affect you ground clearance, meaning they should not be the lowest part protruding from the cars underside. But this is just my observation form the gtspec pics which could be wrong.

Well I dunno, looking at the pics it seems like the 6-point brace is actually the lowest thing on the car, close second comes the 4-point braces. If anyone can clarify this I'd really appreciate it.

BTW would my new wheels have dropped my height more btw? I've recently installed 19x9 Offset 25 and I still need to get alignment but I can swear that the car is sitting lower than before.

Honestly some roads here you would not believe how bad ther are,

right infront of the factory if you look at the road you'll think it's the sea, the tarmac has soo many huge waves in them from all the heavy load trucks that go by.

I've ordered a bunch of the braces but not the 4 or 6 point braces, I'll see how these few braces clear and then gain the strength to move to the 4 point and then maybe the 6point.

If I get the time tonight I'll try to get a couple of low point measurements for you.
