Strut/tower bar help

I want to buy a front strut / tower bar for my 06 coupe. I have (I think it's) a 1/4" plenum spacer and K&N air intake. This is the cheapest one I found on eBay for $80 -

http://ebay.com/itm/300682078556?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1

The seller said it wouldn't fit over my spacer and aftermarket intake, but they really don't stick out much higher than the oem manifold and intake.
Anyone have that bar? Or know of a cheap one that fits well over spacer and intake? Thanks guys

looks like an NRG bar which definitely clears the spacer. the problem with that bar is that it can rub against the hood.

this is another option for you:

Seans strut tower bar is a great deal and it's adjustable to clear your plenum, if you don't buy it I will...and I already have one!

Is it one hole elongated or multiple mounting holes for increased clearance height?

One elongated hole so the bar can be slid up and down - see below:

The picture I posted is of an NRG bracket, but the GT Spec brackets are similar.
