Will i scratch? (Tanabe Sustec Underbrace Q/Neuspeed X-Brace)

Hello i was wondering if i will scratch if i add one of the two mention above on my car? I currently lowered on Goldline springs on my sedan and i am on SI wheels. How about the Spoon lower tie bar (holds two joints only) will that one scratch? Some input would be nice thanks, i read stories that the X-Brace has bad clearance issues.

which one works better? and which one doesn't scrape?

I just killed my Tanabe Sustec UnderBrace. The whole story and a pic is right here: Don't use the shoulder during construction!

Edit: Oh yeah... I'm at stock ride height and my tires actually raise me up about 1/8". It also looks like I hit the brick with the Tanabe Sustec UnderBrace first and that made it go up and hit the other things further back (which are more recessed than the UnderBrace).
