im pretty set on the voltex diffuser, but i have have the idea of the top secret, spoon, and gladman performance diffuser floating around in my head. what im really looking for are people who are around my height and running a rear diffuser. is there anyway you can post pics of the setup, specifically looking underneath from the rear so i can see how much clearance there is? any help would be greatly appreciated

edit: i have the greddy SE dual exhaust so if anyone out there is running this exhaust with a rear diffuser please post about your experience

With your current ride height, if you add any diffuser you'll have almost no clearance. I scrape with my spoon replica diffuser even when I'm only on tein s-techs and 16'. The worst part is when you "snake" an incline to save the front end, the rear end (diffuser) will suffer.

Downforce makes a pretty flat diffuser that you might look into.

Gladman on ebay makes diffusers for custom order, made of cut metals like alloycraft. He sells a base model for like 400 i believe, but yu can get anything you want if u talk to him (and they are worth a crap! Not trash!). Also the metal company that does lip protectors and grills makes a subtle rear diffuser. Looks... interesting

I've got the Voltex RDiff and I'm at about your ride height, if not a tad bit lower, haven't scratched it once yet. I avoid crazy inclines obviously, but have been through some regular inclines as well.
