Founders strut brace wont fit 
What is causing this? Is like 1 1/2 inches in the bolt holes and the plate is not that much in the angle. Help please

Call Founders and send them pictures, I'm willing to bet they will take care of it for you.
Maybe someone can chime in on the distance between the inner bolt holes on their STB and you can compare. That way you'll know if it is out of spec, or your car is out of spec

The upper bolts of the shocks come into the engine bay at an angle, therefore, in order to get a properly fitting STB in place, you have to disconnect the sway bar on one side of the car, remove all 4 bolts that hold the shock/spring assembly in place, lift the front of the car underneath the front cross member, and on the side you disconnected the sway bar, push down on the suspension on that side of the car until the upper ends of the bolts almost disappear into the wheel well. Then place the STB over the bolts and bring the bolts back up into place. The STB will then fit.....
