Do you guys just fit the Front strut tower Braces as is or do the studs need to be replaced for longer ones, Because it doesent look as if there is much room there.

Probably long enough but depends on the strut brace.

I fitted both a Rennline one and a PerfectPower one with stock studs.

I've used a few different front strut braces and never had a problem with stud length.

Factory RS (Heigo) bar works fine with stock studs.

I've used Heigo and Weltmesiter on my 964s and now Automotion on the 993, no issues whatsoever.

I used a 911 chips STB and it fits perfectly with plenty of threads to spare.

Don't know which brace you have, but the standard RUF brace will not work with the stock upper mount studs - they are too short. You will need to replace with 24mm studs.
