After I get these welded on Im going to go with Tein H Techs on Illuminas with RSB and FSTB... Also, H&R 20mm spacer in back and a 5mm spacer in front. Any ground clearance issues? I know this should be in a new thread but I can post yet.

Typically when you lower your car the ground tends to move up towards it. Its just an inevitability. I havent started working on one for the 6th gen yet. But I do plan to as soon as I find the time and someone with a 6th gen.

You can always purchase the X bracing after wards and add them to your side rails. letting your wallet recover. Even the 3 point tie in rails can have the x bracing added at a later time.

Can you briefly explain the difference/benefits of the 3 point VS the 4 point rails? Also, which rails are in the $295 SFC?

A few Q's.... To add the X-bracing later, you simply need to drill holes in the side rails and bolt them in (read: something I can do with jackstands)? Also, how much is the X-brace separately? And I would like a break-down of 3-point versus 4-point, as well! I'd like to get into auto-x someday, and may consider one over the other now.

Alright the break down of the 3 vs 4 point. The 3 point only mounts to the factory rail and not the rear trailing arm mount. But the difference is feel imho is not much different from the 4 point. The best part is you can remain in the street prepped class for auto x. And yes all you have to do is drill the holes later for the cross bracing. The cross bracing is around $75 dollars for our standard cross bracing.

Thanks,

According to FedEx they weigh 38.5 lbs including cross bracing. So not much more than 40 with welds and undercoating.

If you get COILOVERS you'll gain a total of only 4.8 lbs to the car's stock weight!

Truax, I sent you a pm a few days ago about shipping to Canada for the 4 point tie in. I'm only interested in the main bars and NOT the x-bracing.
thanks

I have a quick question I use my car as a daily driver would a 4 point be a good idea?

Speedstermax... You will only benefit from the 4-point bars, even for daily driving. The reason you would is because our flimsy chassis (unibody style) can only benefit with stiffening enhanced bars. Only downside I see would be ground clearance, IF THAT! Ride quality will only INCREASE. Speaking for our Maximas, tho.

The 4 point does just fine as a daily. They do scrap if your lowered on speed bumps. I hit a nice one today myself. Im working on the canada quote.

We have the same setup as you and only scrap on speed bumps if we dont crawl over them.

I have the 4-point and have yet to scrape it. I'm lowered about 1.7 front 1.5 rear. I've taken some pretty steep driveways with no problems. I always go up steep driveways at an angle which helps. Haven't scraped on any speedbumps but I always take them slowly anyway.

I'm wondering if they hang any lower than the factory mudflaps? Those are the lowest point on my car and they hardly every scrape.

I'm interested in the four-point bar as well. Keep us updated on the prices if they change.
