I agree it would be wise to move the main hoop braces to the shock tower. The present set-up loads the longer tube and could collapse it.

I would also suggest you revise the long brace to the rear bumper. this bar takes away any crush protection offered by the body. It might leave a better looking car after an impact, but you might be hurt easier.
