Safety loop w/ lowered car

Pulling into the car wash today I bent the hell out of my BMR safety loop. I am wondering if there is another brand that tucks up tighter.

I have Kooks LTs with ORY and am lowered 1" on BMR springs. Nothing EVER scrapes except for the safety loop.

Thanks in advance!

I have the Lakewood on mine. How much lowered are you? I will tear the bottom of my car off before ever hitting that loop.

i have a 1 piece loop that is a bolt-on and nothing hangs low. should work with your exhaust and torque arm.

1"... If anything ever hits, its the safety loop. I rarely scrape but I would rather not scrape at all. It is only on steep parts that I have to take a bad angle at for some reason. The kooks tuck up very nicely.

It slightly bent those bracket also, but not enough to matter I don't think.

I honestly haven't had a chance to inspect it fully yet, have been busy moving and with work.
(That is not my car)

Thanks for the input. As of now I am going to be ordering a Midwest as soon as I got a free couple of bucks.

Thanks everyone!

I've got spohn's, no loss of clearance at all.

I got rid of the BMR for that reason.

here is a pic of our bolt-on driveshaft loop. you can't get a better fitting loop that will work with almost any exhaust or torque arm, and does not hang low.

My Midwest fits great, just make sure you move your fuel line like you see in Eric`s picture.

^^^ true-dat if you want a little more simple install, but it is designed to be fitted between the fuel/brake line assy so they remain is stock location. works just fine either way.

I recommend the MWC loop as pictured. I bought one last year and it works perfect with my TD's, you will lose absolutely no ground clearance whatsoever.
