I have an RB brace, and it now sports a nice bend as well as some bare
aluminum.  I hit a metal drain grate in a parking lot that had sunk on one
end and raised on the other.  It also shaved off one of the fins on the
bottom of the oil pan.  I have the FM springs and the car measured 11 1/4"
on the front at that time.
