Default downforce or chargespeed side diffusers?

I'm in a debate about which one to purchase: downforce cf diffusers or chargespeed bottomline cf diffusers.

Ive been interested in the look of the chargespeeds better b/c I have a taste for the little rear fin that comes up at the end unlike the downforce diffusers

but I also had some helpful people tell me that the chargespeeds install BELOW the side frames of the car which means they can get cracked, etc from bumps, while the downforces install above the car side frames which protect it.

Can anyone confirm this?

also, does this mean the chargespeeds give your car a lower appearance since they install lower, or do they look the same in height compared to the downforce ones?

please give me helpful info, and if you have the downforce or chargespeeds, please tell me your experiences of them, pro vs con...

(and also the best place to get either one for the cheapest)

thats good info about the jack situation. I wish I could know if the chargespeeds are the same way...

1. does anyone have the chargespeeds?

2. if you like the downforce side diffusers over the chargespeeds, why?

3. where is the lowest price for them?

Downforce. Their products look to be designed with functionality and durability in mind. Their fenders have CF reinforced tabs, and the side diffusers maintain the jack points. Bump for a well thought out product.
