Default d3 double X-brace

Does anyone know where to buy one of these besides on d3designs.com ?

For someone who has one is there any clearance issues on a lowered car?
My Type-s is lower on nuespeed race springs and it scrapes like hell so would i have any issues with the brace?

Ive read all the testimonials on that site and really am set on getting one of these things. Id like to know some more personal feedback from someone who has one.

Thanks, Andrew

Why do you think you need one? Honestly, you're on Neuspeed Sport lowering springs. That's the weakest link in your suspension/chassis right now, unless you are, god forbid, on stock shocks as well.

The DC5 is stiff enough unless you start running a real suspension setup with stiff springrates and ultra-sticky tires.

why do you want one are you trying to eliminate wheel hop or are you auto crossing your car? if your worried about traction take those shitty springs off and get some coilovers, motor mounts and a good set of bushings

We've basically told you that it's a worthless upgrade until you upgrade other parts of your car. And even at that I doubt just how much difference it will really make for a street car.

But hey, it is your money. If you are worried about scraping I'd call the manufacturer and see what they recommend. Most folks don't do that mod because there is better money spent elsewhere. Now, if you've already done everything else or you are trying to squeeze that last .10th out of your car then I'd say go for it, but it doesn't appear that you have.

d3 should advertise this product along with the v-brace for the rear "TRACKONLY"
or better revised "ultra flat roads"

funny thing is they claim these products to give the same chassis stiffness as a roll cage, without the safety. not a bad product, but if you use them in organized racing they bump you into higher classes with built M3's....owned
