Need Opinion on Front Bumper Savers

I noticed my front bumber has bottomed out on the road, there are scrapes and the rubber spoiler on the left side tore. It is lowered about an inch and I have skid plate stiffeners (MAM # 606-313 - http://www.madvet.com/-/shop?frame=1.590) on for a few years. Now I'm thinking the ones with the wheels may be better (AA Frame Savers - http://www.corvettegarage.com/index....facturers_id=5). Anyone have experience with either of these protectors, better yet with both?

I have the frame savers. They work like a charm. I still scrape the spoiler now and then, but those little wheels have saved my lower fascia from the curb monsters a couple times!

Frame Saver Wheels vs Skid Plate Stiifeners

Okay, the AA Frame Savers (with wheels) are good, but are the worth the $80 if I already have the Skid Plate Stifferners? Can I use both? Should I get the AA Frame Savers and throw out the Skid Plate Stifferners? Thanks

The A&A Corvette frame savers and rocker rails are a necessity for any lowered C5. They have saved me from damage many times. It is much better to roll over a steep approach angle than scrape over one

I have the ones with wheel in front and they work great. Should be on car from factory.

I have them and they are great. I don't think you will need the stiffeners with these. He runs a special on the frame savers and the rocker rails for like 109.00. That is what I got.
