Maureen at Rodger's Chevy has some of the best prices around and always free shipping!! I searched for awhile and could not find a better price for the strut tower brace and bolts combination.
My fellow SJCC member Billy painted it up for me and I installed it a few days ago.
Installation
The install is very straight forward. The GM install instructions included in my order from Maureen specified 16ft-lbs for torquing the bolts. Simply set the brace in place and bolt it up.
Make sure the front of the car is level and the wheels are straight so that the strut towers are in a neutral position.
I haven't noticed a huge difference beyond more road feedback that I can directly tie to the installation of the strut brace. That is most likely because I installed coilovers at the same time and I am have issues with those so I am not taking my turns very hard. I will be swapping back to stock struts temporarily until I can fix the coilover problems. If I notice significant changes at that point I will provide updates!
