C-Pillar braces

Actually looking at the Rear lower strut brace I have, it's not even lower then the actual bit that goes on.

Won't get a Front lower though.

The rear brace scraping depends on what type you have. The completely solid ones hang a little lower, my hinged lower brace hangs only slightly lower than the rear sub frame. My exhaust is lower than it.

if you get a tanabe rear underbrace on a 5th gen you'll have no probs!

Nitin make your own C-pillar brace with long stingy pasta and selotape.

C pillar brace is the one between th rear seatbelt mounts. If so, then no need as a good amoubt of twist is reduced by the metal speaker parcel shelf. However if there is brace between upper front seatbelt mounts, this may be worth while.

5th Gens are stiffer though 24% more torsioanal rigidity and 55% stiffer bending rigidity.
