Default Strut tower dosent fit over plenum!

I installed an accufab intake plenum with a 1/2" spacer and now the strut tower brace will not fit! Anyone know of anyone that sells one that will fit over, or any idea's on modding the stock one. It seems that the intake pipe is too high! I wouldnt want to nothc it to make space for the brace to fit over. I think this would rob some power. Any help appreciated, Thanks, Jaime...

There are lots of aftermarket companies that make strut tower braces that fit aftermarket intakes.Steeda has one I believe.

I hear that steeda makes a tower brace that is higher for a blower. Im not too shure because all the intake piping that i have seen have the pipe bending under the brace, the car rides ok, i'm just constantly on the road darting thru traffic, so it helps! Anyone out there conqer this delema?
