    I might be interested in this with the skid plate of course. Any chance of a solid skidplate? I think it would be more advantageous aerodynamically.

                    heey so i bought one of these and it it rubbing against my front sway bar.. its a suspension techniques 22mm front sway...should I put another washer in where the brace bolts to the rack or a washer at the lollipops??

                    i dont want to leave this the way it is and something break cause my sway bar doesnt have the clearance to "sway" the way its supposed to. or break the cross brace and sways. which would be $$$$$
                    please and thank you
                    m20 is plenty. im simply a drifter.

                      I had the same issue and the only solution I found was to go with an oem convertible 21mm bar. All the aftermarket bars had almost 0 clearance between them and the brace

                        I run the 25mm IE sway bars and it clears by a long way. You can space it down if needed there are spacers in the kit for this.

                          Do you have plans to make a LCA brace like the mason unit? For those of us that want some stiffness but don't want to spend as much as the x-brace?

                            There wouldn't be any issues if you have an e30 M3 style, strut mounted swaybar set up, correct?

                                I might be interested depending on how much difference this will make on a vert. Otherwise I may just go for the x-brace given reviews. I haven't felt it for myself so I'm curious if someone has an x-braced vert local in south orange county.
                                Das ist nicht nur nicht richtig, es ist nicht einmal falsch!
