ground clearance for diamond subframe connectors

My car was in a little accident, and my frame got a little damage. The bottom has a little crumble,but so far my car was stable at 100mph. I am thinking about strengthening my chassis. I am leaning towards diamond SFC,but I don't now how much ground clearance I will loose. Are Diomond SFC lower than hooker longtubes? Anybody has any pictures of diamond SFC installed? Thanks for anyinput

KBDDs won't be lower than Hookers. I've had them before and they were very nice.

SLP Diamonds are stronger than Kenny Brown.

Ion, what change did you notice in handling with KBDD? I will look at SLP diamonds as long as they are not more expensive

Mainly rattles reduced to almost none. If you ever drove on 88 towards Chicago, you may recall some portions of the road where the car would be shaky (like the asphalt was wavy).. that's where I noticed it the most. Also on damaged road/potholes, etc.
This was on a t-top car. You may not notice a huge difference, but I guess it may not be that bad of an idea with a damaged frame.
