You do not have to move the deck-lid spring bracket when you mini tub. All you have to do is shorten it up because after you tub it, the bracket will now end up on top of the wheel-well instead of on the side of the wheel-well. I am not familiar with the e body bracket but many are two piece, this allows you to drill out the spot wells on the spring bracket and allows you to reshape it to fit back in after you mini-tub the wheel-well. I have done many mini tubs and you cannot tell it has been done when I finish except for the fact it looks wider inside the trunk. If you need more info on mini-tubs PM me. Hope this helps.
