Strut Tower Brace, will it fit w/ camber plates?

Does anyone running ground control caster / camber plates have a strut brace installed?

You had to cut to install the Ground Control Camber/Caster plates? I thouth they were straight bolt on.

If you want to take advantage of the plate's full positve caster adjustablity (around +6) then you need to grind towards the back of the car.
If you want to take full advantage of full negative camber, then you need to grind towards the engine. I probably could of got away without grinding the camber since I am using this as a street car. If you notice I am no where near max negative camber, but I am at full caster however.

That cusco brace looks like it will work as long as I dont increase negative camber towards the limit, which I probably never will. Thanks!
