Im down 40mm mate with 50 profile tyres.
On the road i have to be careful on the 'dual's sppedbumps you know the one's where the middle of the car has to pass over them? I never go up kerbs anyway so not sure if that would be a problem or not but generally on the road it is fine.
On track its fine too really. At brands paddock hill bend when i hit the bottom of the hill i think there was a slight rub noise but i think that was from the tyres. At the Nurburgring it hit the road at Hocheichen and both the karussels so went round them after that.
I'd say the hassle you get from it is more than worth it.

thanks for that. im debating fitting one at the moment, i dont have a top or bottom brace at present. i have trouble with my rear box rubbing the dual speed bumps at eh moment so im not sure what it would be like. i am running the basic 45 profiles, lowered 40mm front and 45mm rear.
did you notice a big difference in the handling? i may start with a top unit and see how i get on.

6x14 & 185-55 048R's should see an end of your rubbing issues, either that or fit 195-45's (Avon acb10/cr500) to your current rims.
The 195-50-15 fed 595 RSR seems to be more like a 45 profile looking at the tyre OD size.
What size t bars do you run?
