Could I install an X-Brace?

I can install it but can my ride use it? My car sits about 3" down and I'm concerned about ground clearance with it. You can see my ride here:

thanks for the input.

jwsisme is an unknown quantity at this point
I have the neuspeed x-brace.
Where the bolt holes are located on the x-brace, it is reinforced and it drops down a bit (about 1/2 inch).
I scraped one when I pulled out of a driveway too fast.
Regardless....I love it, wouldn't remove it for anything.

I think ripping it off by itself would be the least of your problems; in every install pic I've seen it appears secure and solid on the mounting points. I'd be afraid of ripping out other suspension components with it.
gtracing got one, and he actually called me long distance telling me not to install cause he's not as low as me and he was scraping everywhere. I'm scared to get one, but MAN do I want that Tanabe.

Big Baller L- Yes, I noticed big-time..it isn't something you feel pulling out of the driveway, but driving on rough, curvy roads is where it shines. Also I get slightly better traction when accelerating. Basically, the car is more planted..and doesn't wander as much.

I would have sold my car by now if I didn't have it.
