Default Strut braces and camber plates

I have Maximum Motorsports camber/caster plates. I just ordered an FRPP strut tower brace. I haven't recieved it yet but I am beginning to think that I should have just ordered the MM brace because of a few reasons: Obviously parts of the same brand would likelybe more compatible, and the installation of the MM seems a bit easier. But I was wondering if anyone has this combo? How did it install (easy, hard, how many holes did you have to drill? I have a few other questions too. Post back if you haveMM camber plates AND a strut brace please.

I have the MM plates as well...and I have been eyeballing the MM Strut Tower Brace for a while

I do not think that it really matters if you mix brands. The brace does not touch the CC Plates, therefore you can use any onethat you want.

The only advice that I ever heard was to make sure that you get a 3-point strut tower brace so you can attach it to the firewall as well...

Well, from what I can tell.... The MM brace attaches to the pinch weld on the firewall and uses existing thru holes. The FRPP attaches to the pinch weld as well but requires new pilots. Of course, the speed shop I got the FRPP brace from does not take returns on ordered parts.....so I may end up selling the FRPP and going with the MM out of ease of installation...... I dunno. I just want to stiffen the front end with as little hole drilling as possible. I am pretty sure I have to drill holes at the shock tower mounts for the brace regardless......
