Good results might have been done without sacrificing quite so much space, but I think this setup probably has more worth than the average metal rod bolted between the suspension towers.

If you haven't, see <a href="https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6833&highlight=dwnshift">this thread</a> for pics of just what is under there. Quite a bit of structure.

I probably would trade off the probably unnoticable in normal street driving difference for a more open space below that structure, but oh well. As long as I can get a decent amount of junk around it, I'm ok I'm sure the existing setup is great for what it does.
