Koni Sport strut adjustment 2013 Cooper S

I have a 2013 Mini Cooper s that has the JCW Strut tower brace installed.I am having Koni Adjustable struts and shocks installed this week. I am wondering if the strut tower brace is going to interfere with my ability to adjust the struts from the top of the strut with the **** that Koni includes with each strut. It looks to me as it will be close.

Will I have to remove the strut tower brace each time that I want to make an adjustment?

Has anyone come across this situation?
Thank you,
Bob

Pretty sure you'll have to take off the strut tower brace to adjust the shocks. You probably won't really need to adjust the shocks all that much so you can just deal with having to unbolt it. Or just remove the strut tower brace. They don't really do anything on these cars IMO.
