I had the granatelli and the plenum cover. I had to mounte the plenum cover underneath the fuel rail studs to gain some clearance. That actually gave me well over 1/2" of clearance. Lots of room now.

I loved the look but I got rid of it all in favor of the CDC shaker.

I did not think that the strut brace made much of a difference but I do notice that the car is a little bit noisier when going over bumps without the strut bar.

Can anyone else comment on performance with the brace on? It looks cool but I'm more interested on any improvements you have noticed. Thanks for your help.

I have the blue oval black one. It seems to have stiffened up the front end quite a bit when steping on the loud pedal in the twisties.Seems as the car is more shure footed. However the rear is still all over the place. Nature of the beast I guess.

He did them himself. He wrote a how-to which can be found here.

Didn't meant to speak for you Odiaz but I knew you did them...
