Not my diff. That is pic is from BMR's site and those are two indentations on the housing and the brown marks are rust. This is why I painted mine over the weekend.

2006GT that PM you sent me got edited so I sent it back to you with my email. If you do not mind can you send me the link direct.

UPDATE on the Clearance issue.

I spoke to BMR this morning. What a great Company. This is how customers need to be treated. I will buy all my suspension parts from them.

So i talk with one of the techs at BMR about the upper support hitting the exhaust. He say he is going to go back to the jig and take a look at the stock piece. Seems I am not the only one who has called them and complained about this issue. So he took my name and number and is going to most likely make a new piece and put a larger drop in it like the stock piece has. Then once there done will replace my bar.

Damn, I was afraid you were going to say that. I'm glad they're fixing the problem, but not glad about the added trouble of having to send the old pieces in for replacement.

Have you contacted them yet? If not then you should call them and let them know you have the same problem. The more of us that inform them of this issue the faster it will be resolved. Call and ask for Lee that is who i spoke to. Nice guy.

Just an update on the Panhard rod support. I installed mine the other day with no clearance issues. I have at least a half inch between the support and the exhaust pipe. Do you have a full catback? I noticed my stock pipes are kind of flattened on the bottom where it goes over the rear.

I am running the stock mid pipes. I spoke with BMR today and they are shipping me the new revised part. I spoke with the Tech who is dealing with this issue and he told me he has increased the length of the end piece and put a slight bend in the bar itself. The bar I got the end bracket with the two mounting holes was almost perfectly level with the bar stock no drop at all.

2006GT is your car lowered yet?
