Lower strut braces

Thinking of fitting a lower strut brace, but worried about the clearance. My car is lowered 40-50 mm at the front. Can anyone share some experience on this one? Thanks!

Hmmm how long ago was you saying you didn't want one? Haha
Just remember unless you get one made by ripp, they all knock on the sump!

Haha, yeah i know...
Just been thinking though that some offer more clearance than others, so wanted to see who's had what experience with them Member of the 99% warning or you're nothing club 2000 Moonstone 1.8 Meridian - Sold 2000 China 3dr XS - Dead 1998 Diablo 3dr XSI

Ripps ones are two smaller bars next to each other opposed to one big bar so they offer a bit more clearance. Good luck getting hold of them though!
Tell ya what, buy one and fit it to my car. If it scrapes, you know not to fit it to yours  lol

Might even get a bit of scaffold tube and just slam it in there. Cable tie it on or something... Will be in keeping with the build quality of the rest of the car then...
How much do these Ripps ones go for if you can find one then? Member of the 99% warning or you're nothing club 2000 Moonstone 1.8 Meridian - Sold 2000 China 3dr XS - Dead 1998 Diablo 3dr XSI
