Mountune discontinued the chassis brace.

if the brace was not there it would hit the next higher item which could easily be the oil pan.

Never, the "K" member and "A" arms are lower.

The only way to hit the oil pan first is doing something like this.....

After months of driving around on snowy roads and hitting anything taller than a paper clip I have decided to remove my 2 point brace. Currently searching for a lower profile option...

I'm still on the fence on what it was partocularly doing. I'd love to see some stress analysis or some data they had to substantiat the brace. The again they made an upper-strut brace for these cars.

The SWAVE parts that Whoosh plans to carry look like a viable option. https://www.fiestastforum.com/threa...g-products-available-in-the-usa-whoosh.23393/

Brace does didly squat for protection, so those thinking otherwise dream on.

Yup, THIS is why metal skid plates exist, and why I have one on my car every single time I plan to go 'off road' with this little fun box.

I think the lower would tie in the two locations where they did add factory bracing(the two brace strips after the front subframe. It would tie the two sides together at the mounting locations.
