does the brace sit that low that you have ground clearance problems? The IS has alot of ground clearance you ask me and im pretty low. I've had cars that had alot less ground clearance.

I noticed a few rubs on the front. Rears are fine. (front rub happens when I do a full turn or going 80mph and going over mild bumps)

Yeah it sits pretty low. I can;t even go over a speed bump I think its a good 1/4 inch lower from bottom of car.

David ...

Lose those 15mm spacers up front and that will SOLVE your rubbing issues...

Holy crap! Sorry to hear that. Wow.... Don't want that happening to my car.... Well I drove 80mph all day on the way to Los Angeles. I managed to get by all the road bumps and etc on the freeway. (Knowing that LA has the worst roads .)

I think I can manage. Just gotta watch out for the high elevation speed bumps at dad's work
