Default X-Brace Hangs 2 Low

Just had a lot of work done (see signature) on my ride along with lowering it 1"... The X Brace that the shop put on hangs down about 1.5" they got it from Mid America. Well as you can imagine the X Brace drags across just about every speed bump. I thought I saw on the C.F. last year a member that makes X Braces that hug up closer to the belly... Any help out there ???

If you are running a stock X-brace, I think the one you are talking about is made by RD Racing... there was a group buy for them going on too...

Found it!
Sounds like you should call it in ASAP and hope they get you in on the discounted GP price...

UPDATED 11/12:

Just call R D Racing and place your order. Have no idea what the time limit is on this, so get in on this buy now.

They will need your Corvette Forum name, the name on the credit card to be used and the CC number, plus which item(s). Phone number is 217-259-1728. You can leave the order info on the voicemail and a phone number and they will call you back to get the credit card number if you do not want to leave it at that time. Or you can send them an email, but I do not have their address...it is on the web site....r-dracing.com


OLD INFORMATION:
Able to combine both cross frame and targa braces for a discount, see below.

Billie from R-D Racing responded:
Quanty of 10 cross frame braces or targa braces at a price of $300 plus shipping.
Quanty of 5 cross frame braces or targe braces at a price of $350 plus shipping.

And YES, you absolutely can send me your stock one in thanks for me helping you..

Do you have the RD racing cross brace? I have an RD cross brace on my unlowered(in the front) 94 LT1 and it does sit lower and effect ground clearance as well. I live in Castro Valley, you are welcome to see it or I can take measurements for you, I think it's going to be problematic with the car already lowered 1".
