ATTN: Please post no replies if they involve the significance of strut bars in Mini's as I have already read that argument fifty times in searches.

I am wondering if anyone is running the Mini Mania front and rear (think the rear is Pilo) strut bars on their MCS. I probably should have posted this before purchase but oh well.

Here they are:

I just did my entire suspension over the winter and figured what the heck...may as well. What I need to know is if there will be any problems with the unit clearing a Unichip and an intake. I will probably go with a K&N Intake as I am no a big fan of the silicone tubing Alta uses and i can sacrifice for 1 or 2 HP loss. Also anything else i should be wary of.
