Might not fit properly. Most of the FK braces we had were useless on RHD cars, but it's cheap enough for you to modify to fit.

if so, and ur car is lowered to the balls then expect lots of scraping over speed bumps!!

No, mine is higher up than the exhaust manifold and the anti-roll bar.

in my personal experience you have the tie bar and one wheel will lift off the ground on tight corners you take it off and it will improve both wheels on the ground. that thing looks like it will hit the floor and awful lot
