Thank you very much. Not just for the comment on the fender braces, but more so for your reply in regards to the strut tower bars. Very helpful.

So is the Xbrace compatible for people with motors on top of their coilovers such as Cusco 2Es?

I've read a lot of reviews and they've all been promising.
