Question Thunder Racing coil relocation

Has anyone used the Thunder Racing coil relocation kit with the Hotchkins strut tower brace installed. As I was looking at the picture of the coils under the front cowling on there website I noticed that our strut brace also goes under the cowling about an inch an a half.

It was pretty easy to do. The hardest part was getting the wipers off to remove the cowl.

Looks alot better now. I have gone through and rerouted the wires so it doesnt look like a spagetti bomb went off on the motor.

Took me one evening to do it. That was taking my time making sure everything was marked correctly. You have to disasemmble your factory coils and then make sure that you keep them matched up per cyl. And getting everything one the JFP kit takes a few minutes. Lots of little pieces that like to fall off as soon as you move your hands or arent paying attention and bump it while you have it on the ground.
