i'm sure it wouldnt be too hard to change the bolts for longer if ya really wanted 2 strut braces.

jap race supplies sells some cheap and nasty ones, for about $79 or $99, could be worth a try.

I have done that to my AE101 FXGT, strut bolts are long enough. I had to cut off 2 little part of the factory strut brace that's blocking the aftermarket one though. I can send you a picture of my engine bay if you give me your email address.

ps I didn't find any improvements at all after adding the extra strut brace in.
