Default Rear lower brace.

Hi guys.
I recently bought​​​​​​ a rear lower brace for my car. I had imagined it was a simple replacement for the piece of box section that served as a brace before.... But this seems to be different and looks like the exhaust will need dropping and from this pic it looks like the anti roll bar is out too...?
Any help​​​​

That is a rear brave but not one for the usual suspect.

link below for the more popular one the replace. This company only does a 4 point rear lower subframe brace.

I bought this one.

Thanks mate... I saw the one you bought.... Do you think it was a decent upgrade on the standard one?

Still need some guidance on getting that other one fitted, otherwise I have wasted the money.

I have the direct replacement for oem tegiwa bar which I'm really impressed with, the rear end of the car feels tighter and just gives me more confidence when I turn in, as others have reported the front and rear feel more at one.

Sorry but except for the placebo effect it is money that could could have being spent elsewhere, that is the strongest part of the subframe unless you are racing at 10 tenths it will add no value to the feel of the car

The oem bar isn't as stiff as some of the aftermarket options available.
