    they both work mate, the metal tray protector will help a bit but will make your lowest point even lower so you won't be able to "legally" lower it as far,
    The motor spacers will bring the motor up yes but then your CV shafts will hit the frame sooner(as you go lower they will be closer to this frame)
    the option is upto you,

    what most of us would do is.. fix the driveway

    oh and take a photo as it sounds nasty!

    i ended up picking up a OEM steel bash plate off another forum member for it , that should prevent me from doing any damage when i go lower , now i just got to fit it on my next day off ....

    go to Bunnings, by some sand and cement, and fix your driveway.

    be a good sport and post up a photo of how the car is hitting? surely there is a solution that isn't bashing the sump in,

    Then why not spend the money on new suspension?

    Surely that's a far better use of $300? The advantages of doing so are endless.

    Saggy old suspension causing the car to bottom out on driveway? Ensure your sump doesn't get damaged furhter by adding steel to the front end and leaving the old, soft & saggy suspension untouched. Problem solved. Great solution (Y)

    Why is there so much hostility towards me in this post? , i have coilovers on order but i thought adding a bash plate would be a good idea too , i only asked what would be better engine mounts spaces or a bash plate and so fair only one or 2 people in this post gave me a answer to my question, every one else is saying fix the driveway or get new suspension......
