I installed the underbrace today. It does seem to make a little difference; the car seems more stable and direct on turn-in. The difference it made seems to be something similar to the difference I noticed when I installed TRD strut tower brace.

It becomes the lowest point of the car. I have hit stuff off of it several times now...but I have not had the car back in the air to check for damage.

Mine is gone...it hit bottom so often, it actually broke off. It becomes the lowest point on the car by a wide margin.

No...it looked like the example pics...I tried to get a pic showing how it hung down, but it didn't work out. It is the lowest point by at least half an inch.

So would you advise against buying it... Where do you drive that it hit so much? i am curious because for the price it seems like a good investment to improve handling a little...

It hit over speed bumps, pulling into a driveway, and on EVERY DAMN piece of crap sitting on the road, etc.

Way to pull a dead thread back from the grave FroZone.

The under brace is only a two-point brace, and hangs down lower than anything else on the undercarriage... skip it, or scrape... and scrape... and scrape over bumps & dips if you're lowered.

Holy thread revival. These little two point braces do little, if anything. They hang low and just make cringing noises when you hit stuff.

If there is a four point available, that would be a better buy.
