Default Lowering w/ DTE Strut Brace?
Hey guys,

Does anyone have the DTE strut brace with their car lowered to the max with factory or aftermarket bolts (WCC)? I wanted to know if there are any clearance issues or anything like that? Thanks in advance for any information.

Thanks,
Harshil

My car is lowered 1" on stock bolts and I have a DTE strut brace. I have been running this setup for 3 years with no issues.

Thanks for the info Rob! I was wanting to lower the car more than the 1" that stock bolts allow. I was thinking of either cutting the bushings or getting the WCC C6 front bolts and longer rear bolts to level it out.
