I hear the SLP ones are close, but all others clear with no problem.
I am no expert though, so someone else please chime in.....

Don't buy STBs. They don't help. Our cars don't even have struts.

I have be BMR and it did rub on the drivers side. I have since replaced the motor mounts and it does not rub any more. The damage to the FRC is done though.

I have had the BMR bar and now have the Hotchkis bar. No problems with the FRC's.

I had a Hotchkis over FRCs with no clearance issues, but now I have neither.
