Yeh they do make a difference. Some people argue that the bottom doesn't do alot, but seeing as its pretty much free when you buy them in a set, and they fit them on the rally cars I'd put it on.

yer it would make a differnece but just be ware that if you put the lower one on it will be the lowest part of the car

Bottom one doesn't make a difference and it just hits off the ground anyway

not quite sure, had the car for 3 years and not done anything 2 it, now i just fancy puttin things on the car now.

never really bothered fit it.

so will the lower strut brace hit the ground even with standard setup?

No.

And i think you can mod the under tray to get it to fit, not sure though.

Actually I think the lower will be ok on the standard suspension, depends how low you are (I'm 60mm). You have to remove the engine tray too

Standard setup is fine with brace, lower and upper! and u can cut the lower tray about but iv left mine off until i can fix it to the brace or summin!
