Question Strut tower brace

I'm looking for a strut tower brace, problem is I have a GT40 intake with spacer. (pretty tall) Obviously I'm worried about the brace fitting. Does anybody have any ideas which tower brace would fit?

I have the Maximum Motorsports with a Tubular GT-40, and the Maximum Motorsports goes in front (not across) of the upper intake so there is no clearance issues at all.

^^ +1 .... I advocate everything MM sells. I have the Maximum Motorsports brace as well and there is NO possibility of intake interference unless you are running a crazy turbo/sc set up.
