Default Strut tower brace to clear 102mm

Anyone know of a strut tower brace for a 4th gen f-body, that will clear a fast 102mm intake?

No problem, but yeah, looks like it wont work. Good thing is is that these cars don't really need a STB, there aren't many forces that go up in the shock tower.

first iv heard that, if theres not much force up there, than why are there problems with the 3 point strut tower bars cracking windshields.

It's kind of an urban legend. If you can find proof that'd be one thing, but otherwise it's mostly internet "truth". The thing is is that the front suspension design on these cars don't really transmit much force through the tower, it's mostly through the lower A-arm (these cars don't use struts, they're shocks front and back)
