I'm not interested in springs and sway bars at this time. I just want to keep the chassis tight, and not void my warranty.

For under the chassis I was looking at this:

What about a bolt on strut tower brace? No drilling. Any yellow ones ?

Your opinions, links, and experiences are valued, don't be shy !!!

I'm looking for bolt on parts only. I don't want to drill.

Tell us what you are using and why.

This is a 5th Gen monocoque. It is solid from the factory. The factory guys ran the box stock Camaro around the Nurburing in one hellofa hurry without any braces or suspension mods. The Camaro culture grew up with the earlier versions needing all kinds of aftermarket parts to be solid and reliable. That was then. This is now.

The rear sub-frame attaches with four bolts. Two of the bolts have large pilots to center the sub-frame when it is bolted into place. The front sub-frame uses six bolts and has two pilot pins. The monocoque they bolt to is one of the strongest designs on the market. It is a toss up between a new CTS and the Camaro for the most solid offered by GM. These are really well built solid automobiles.

The chassis will stay tight without ANY braces. Keep in mind that Pedders manufactures and sells aftermarket suspension parts. I would love to tell you you need all kinds of braces and upgrades, but you don't. You can go over to the G8 forums which is a ZETA chassis (the Camaro is ZETA II). We do make a strut tower bars for the G8. Does it really make any difference, probably more in the driver's mind than anything anyone could measure. The Camaro ZETA II is a much more robust front clip. Take the front fascia and fenders off a G8 and there is no real structure in front of the strut towers. Take the front fascia and fenders off a Camaro and you will see more structure.

If you want to improve on the handling of a already very good automobile I would be more than happy to answer any questions you would like to ask -- but you don't NEED to buy anything to keep your 5th Gen chassis tight.
