On our ITB GTI I ran the forward braces to the firewall about 6-8 inches up from the floor. If you look the front frame horns attach there, you can see the spot welds. I plated directly over their attachment to the firewall and ran the braces to them. I reasoned it would strengthen the chassis (flex) and even if you take a hit the the front wheel it would still provide intrusion protection as they ran from about a foot off of the floor at the front hoop diagonally down towards the floor.
For pictures, ask Bill Miller he owns the car now. He attest to the strength of the cage, he "race" tested it.
