i would think that it would be possible to fit a strut brace to the k mac bearing plates. They come with a reinforcing plate that fits on top of the strut tower and have longer than standard studs throught the body for this to fit. if u put a strut brace on you would just leave these plates off.

cheers does that top plate serve any reinforcing purpose or is it just to let everyone know you have adjustable tops i was thinking you could just put the kmace plate on top of the strut brace but i guess either way it wouldnt matter because if the kmac top did do any reinforcing then the strut brace would now do that Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i think it's mostly show but they would also reinforce the strut tower around the bolt holes over a greater area than a washer

I dont think the studs/bolts are long enough to fit both a strut brace and the top ring.
