First off, this is a gorgeous product and fits great. Very strong, beautiful welds, pretty satin finish. Quality is extremely high across the board. I have the FM brake master cylinder brace installed as well and both fit together fine (my suspensionis Ohlins R&T and the studs are plenty long to accommodate both - worth checking in advance if your studs will be long enough as well). One thing that would be helpful: if FM could add to the instructions some precise (mm) measurements of clearance from the highest point (on 1.6, 1.8 and 1.8vvt) to the bottom of the bar. This would help for different applications where clearance isn't immediately obvious (for example, I have a custom AN-line catch can setup that doesn't clear). This is not FM's fault of course - it would just help us make a good decision on whether to buy.
With engine mounts that can sag and aftermarket mounts that could move the engine higher, the dimensions we would give may or may not match any given car. Hopefully, since you have a custom setup to start off with, things can be tweaked. As always, feel free to reach out to our customer support department for opinions and suggestions ahead of any purchase. Or after the fact, of course. Thanks for the review, we're glad you like the product!
Beautiful piece, but doesn't seem to work with the (NB) white Koni adjustment knob. If FM could make a 3D printed knob for the suspension adjustment that's both grippy and small enough to fit under the brace uprights (maybe with a line or something to keep track of the amount turned), I'd be interested.
