Question Larger Intake Manifolds vs Strut Braces

Curious what people are doing with larger intakes and strut brace supports.

Lowering with LR Ultra Mounts there seem to be interference issues with at least a SFR intake and BK strut brace.

Suggestions/solutions, if possible post pictures of your setup.


Much appreciated!

You can put washers under the strut bar mount to raise the strut bar WITHOUT any negative effects. They don't have to be flush mounted. Some bars don't even mount to all the strut tower bolts or are flush mounted. And you can get a raised fiberglass hood if the bar is too tall and hits the hood. And you can use LR ultra mounts without the shims to lower the engine 10mm if you don't want to use solid mounts. Or not use that intake manifold. There are pro's and con's to everything. Like Mic Jagger said "you can't always get what you want".
