   only avoid if you are silly low or there are stupid speed bumps in your area. the lower can be an arse to put on

   i think the top one is more for show, its the bottom one that helps performance more. top one is a doddle to fit no more than 10minute job, ive read that the bottom one is also reasonably easy to fit also.

   I'm thinking top for now, lower later.
   Do i need to relocate anything in the bay to fit it?
   Its an OMP one and is it just as i said remove the bolts surrounding the hooge one in the middle and put the brace beneath it
   or does someone know a guide?
   Cheers people again

   if you have the omp one nothing needs to be re located, just a simple job. Bolts off, brace on, bolts back on!

   Very straight forward with the omp, i think sparco, raceland,etc you do need to relocate.
