Default Greddy oil pan and GT Spec lower front brace?

Guys, I have the GT Spec lower braces, and the front one sits right under the oil pan... Any idea if the Greddy pan will clear the brace? I know some of the bigger pans wont...

heres what it looks like now:

Yes the pan will clear, but by milimeters. I have the GT Spec full 4 peice brac set up and every thing will fit with out rubbing.

well it might rub if you have 600+hp and the engine moves really hard when you rev

an alternative would be to get solid motor mounts and not use the bar because the engine would become a huge solid strut bar

The APS and all other oil pans and JWT spacer will not clear the GT spec bar

Think about it man, thats a given. If it clears by mm's than it wont clear with a spacer. The motor mounts are a diffrent storry as well. Since they lower the engine they would be a no go as well. I cant put mine in because of it so I either sell the brace or sell the mounts. But definately cant have both.

EDIT: I'll let you know about the whole 600+hp thing and rubbing after my engine break in, if you want first hand experience.
