Stillen Front Strut Bace w/ Tein Flex EDFC

When I called Stillen about their front tower strut brace, they said it wouldn't fit with my Tein EDFC adjustable suspension.
While the car was at VTR for a BBK upgrade, we tried one on and the fit was no problem. I was under the impression that the servos that adjust the dampers moved up through the openings in the middle of the mounting points, but they don't move up at all. Three days later I was enjoying a much crisper turn in through every one of Watkins Glen's 11 turns.
Why Stillen says it won't work is a mystery.

I have wanted to get one of the stillens for a while, but that is why i didn't get one - because they said it wouldn't fit with my EDFC. So you have one on now and it fits?
