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.

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

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!
