K-Swappers w/ x brace?

Im just curious if there is anyone who has done a k-swap and put an x brace on their car. Or will it even fit? Just curious.

it will fit cause the xbrace bolts onto the same places on our subframes as well as the ep3 / rsx subframes

An x-brace should fit with a k swap. But if you have a bigger exhaust system it may not fit cause mine won't fit with my turbos downpipe and exhaust. It should be fine with a drop you just need to be careful about going over bumps and curbs. Where in Norcal are you?

Wow that sucks your like right in the middle 3 hours from Norcal and about 3 hours from Socal. Also I want to sell my x-brace cause it won't clear my down pipe if you want to buy it from me we could meet up so you can test fit it to make sure it will work.

it tightens up the front end to improve stability and handling.

Yeah the x-brace hangs a little lower than the oil pan so if you bottomed out your car the x-brace would hit first.
