I have a 2008 Sky RL CFSE . . . no clearance issues on my car. Had over 1cm of clearance. Finagled it into place, moved some wire bundles around, test fit it, and tightened it up. Had no torque guidelines, so I went with 35 ft.lbs and will check it again this weekend one week later and adjust if required. I already have a "backbone", a DDM probeam, a Z0K rear anti-sway bar. And the LVFCB was a nice addition. I got it in the aim of reducing hood shake, increasing ride quality (stiffer chassis means lower natural resonance frequency) and essentially isolates the suspension from flexing the chassis and that's what I got. The projector head light setup, sharp cut off, and 55W 4700K made the headlight shake noticeable as I hit bumps with the lights mounted to the hood, and is noticeably reduced with this brace. I used to see my hood shake over bumps, even with the adjusted properly all around. It still shakes, but it's like the "quality" of the car just got a lot better. There's the slightest bit better turn in, but not even that noticeable as you could dial in say through a hair more toe-out in alignment. But boy does it really stiffen up the looseness in the front end of the car.
Simple device, good quality, fair price. To be 100% honest, had I seen one in person before actually buying it, I likely would have made my own (I have me own Miller TIG and MIG and plasma cutter, all 240V commercial grade). But for the hassle of going to the local "metal supermarket" setting up the equipment, and tearing it back down, the weather getting colder lately, work, social life, etc, I got lazy and if I didn't have the metal equipment, I wouldn't even think twice about ordering again.
