Carbing Front Strut Tower Brace and Crawford Billet Power Blocks. Clearance?

I just bought this strut bar and I'm crossing my fingers for clearance. Anyone have the BPB and this bar? If you've just got the bar, can you measure the amount of clearance you have please?

Thanks!

Thanks for the help everyone!

FYI the bar clears fine with over 2" to spare

Exclamation

Trying to decide between Carbing or Beatrush, planning to install front strut tower, angular braces and rear strut bar. The only problem with the Beatrush, is it seems there would be flex as it is not one complete piece.

Considering it is a CNCed aluminum plate it will not liked add nearly as much stiffness a tubular steel brace will. but hella bling tho. I've only seen people use it in conjunction with ground control coilovers.

I'm more interested in functionality than looks...

What's the general concensus on the power blocks? Worth the money?

The opinion of just a handful of people on a group buy thread doesn't always cut it. Niether does proof of about 7% performance increase. I'm looking for more pros and cons from owners, aka, this thread.
