Thanks again!

I am running FI's tubes so you shouldn't have any problems.
As far as the GT Specs though,
With a 1" drop you'll be in the exact same situation as me as I've got a reported .75" drop on Nismo springs (though they dropped me closer to 1.5"). So a big no-go, it really depends on if you traverse speedbumps =p Most of the time if you take a very sharp angle, you will not scrap going into parking lots
I haven't "de-tracked" my car yet and I did bottom out with these on the highway where they'd ripped up the pavement... very scary sound at speed.
And from what I understand, the bumps in the brace *are* for people running HFCs. If they were design for those running stock, they could have picked the brace up by a bit more than an inch and still had adequate clearance. I decided to just pull the brace after track days as I now have other track specific items which I run, but you should be able to have someone chop it up for ground clearance if you desire.
