i carnt comment on handling because a few weeks before i put the braces on,me driveshaft,wheel bearing and a few joints have started to go and they have all got alot worse and me tracking is all tits up so handling at the mo is poop.
Yes it is lowered,about 30mm or 40mm,but i want to go to 60mm but i would take that lower brace off,it would be seriously impractical.
At the mo it only catches and scrapes on Very bumpy roads.and the speed bumps that are like a tit in the middle of the lane.
