Bmr tunnel brace question

Anyone that has one, did you have to use longer bolts? also looking at it each side is different
(angle of the bracket)I havent gotten under the car yet to check.

The BMR brace is probably made from 3/16 steel so the difference between it and the stock brace should not require different bolts. I would be curious to know if it makes a noticeable difference and if it gives you more or less ground clearance.

Yes DDs will require longer bolts, otherwise the stock ones will be fine.
On my car I did lose some ground clearance as the Gload brace became the lowest point on my car.

The BMR brace fit perfect, the bolts were long enough. BUT the BMR brace hangs lower than the stock one. My car has DMS springs and is 1.5"lower. Yes I scrape

On the plus side I honestly think it tightened up and tied together my sub frames much better.
