C5 Frame Guard
My newly purchased 2000 coupe is lowered 2 inches.
I have been advised to install frame guards to protect the bottom front of the car.
The 2 frame guards I've looked at are....duel wheel design from Elite Engineering and single wheel design from A & A Corvette.
Which design will do a better job with least problems ? OR is it pretty much a toss up with neither design having a significant advantage/draw back.

Don't know that either is better than the other, but A&A has a nice package price on the frame savers and rocker rail combined........

I think either will do, but I would also recommend the rocker rails. My car is only lowered on stock bolts but both the frame savers and rocker rails have already come in handy.

I have seen A&A ones quite often. The only problem is that a jacking puck wont fit but it does a great job of whats it supposed to do.

Give our frame guards a try. I think you will like the durability.
