Default Query about strut brace?

Hi just a quick query really I am thinking about getting a strut brace for my 03 plate VTR and have been told you need to relocate stuff in the engine bay to get the clearance needed. Could someone please confirm either way for me PLEASE before I potentially waste 80 or so quid.

Thanks
