id be VERY hesitant to space a strut brace 1 inch off the pillar! cant you just get a) one that fits properly, or b) get your existing one rebent and tempered??

otherwise youre going to have a lot of force (torque) being experienced over the length of 1 inch of bolt - and as we all know, bolts are designed for tensile strength, not lateral forces at a distance...

actually i was over-exgerating abit when i said 1 inch... but yeah, the intake will touch the brace if there was no spacer.

on this site its stated that its very common in the US, so i am not really sure what to do...

But other than the spacers, under it would not be the pillar right? I do have some kind of aftermarket "pillow" support of some sort... not sure what its called. but it came with my JIC coilovers...
