It did not make it to the final production costs was going to be way high

Kind of a shame. I think the vehicle benefits more from adding a brake master brace then upgrading a strut bar. But thats just IMHO.

The braces do look pretty and fancy though.

Do we know if the axial flow brace works with it. I kind of doubt it does but you never know!

Dunno, but the car benefits a lot from the 6-pt brace. It doesn't look too hard to come up with some handmade add-on to support the brake master cylinder ... but it wouldn't be that pretty blue color!

Adding just that one small piece I would have had to raise the cost ~$100 if I remember correctly. I didn't want to take the risk of adding it and having a very expensive strut bar that doesnt sell

I am interested in the underbody braces, will I have any issues with anything fitting with my greddy oil pan or agency power midpipe?

Definitely not from the midpipe, the greddy oil pan may potentially have clearance issues. I have yet to seen one installed with the braces on the car.
