Underbrace bars

Anyone got under brace on your car? I have a 4 point bar on my other car and I notice a difference especially at high speed and turns. I'm looking at tanabe's bar...
Tanabe USA Inc. - Sustec Under Brace

It's 2 point... anyone have these and would like to shed some light?? What's your experience?

I had one and I didn't think it would do much good. It made more of a difference than I thought it would. However I took it off and sold it because it had clearance issues with my Berk HFC when I installed them. It rubbed slightly and made a lot of noise. I replaced it with the GT Spec equivalent brace and its fine because the GT Spec on has better clearance.

I've got the Tanabe Sustec bar and LOVE it. I also have Berk HFC's and there is ZERO clearance issues. I am not sure why BB had a problem, but I can gaurantee you I have a good 1.5" of clearance.

All my other underbraces are GT Spec, but this is the one tanabe piece I have

Interesting... The bar itself is only under 100$ can't go wrong. I can probably get it for less. Just wished they went 4 point though. How about for people who are dropped? Any issue scratching or something with the tanabe bar?

I'm dropped on KW V3's and while my ARK exhaust scrapes all the time NONE of my underbracing scrapes ever (yes, I've checked to make sure which are scraping )

If you're dropped, anything might scrape to be honest. I've scraped my underbraces in the front. I suppose it's better to have them scrape than the underside of your car.

Both the GT Spec and the Tanabe are well made, little difference between them functionally or quality wise. I mean, it's a rigid piece of metal connecting 2 points, there's not a lot that you can screw up there.
