Knock those 2 studs out. They are pressed it. I knocked mine out of my gt1s as not using my type S brace. However I knocked mine out when they were mounted which is very easy with a Timmy mallet.

As ratty says. Knock them out. For the standard 5th gen brace.

I've had Meister R's on the 4th gen and 5th gen. Performance Autoworks set them up both times and didn't report any issues.

Brill thanks people! I suspected that was the case and tried gently knocking them with a mallet but didn't give it much force in case I was going down the wrong route!

I didn't bother knocking mine out, I left them in and fitted them through the existing holes you have in the top of the strut tower in the picture you have uploaded.

Yes, they are the holes for my Spoon brace as Modds- not in the chassis of the car :)
