For Sale: GM Performance Strut Tower Brace Kit (for 2011-2015 Camaro)

If anyone is interested, I have brand new in the box, a Genuine GM Performance Strut Tower Brace Kit which is featured on the 1LE model.

Someone ordered this from me, I shipped it over from USA and then they changed their mind.

If you're interested, please check that your car has the screw holes under the hood. GM did not start putting the screw holes into the strut towers until mid 2011 onward. You won't be able to mount the brace if it doesn't have the threaded holes to accommodate the bolts for the brace kit.

Only asking for what I paid for it.. Total with UK shipping: £125
(can ship to other European countries at extra cost)

Regards,

Pete

Hi Pete. What exactly is the purpose. Stiffen the top of the shocks? Better handling?

Rick that's an easy install on your 2013 no holes to drill. And you don't have to pay the extra expense of the install kit. Direct bolt on.

Pete I have an early 2011 I bought it new in July 2010. I don't have the set screw holes in the strut towers. But there is a kit to put this in any Camaro that doesn't have the screw holes already. You can see it on my build I put one on. It is a pain in the BUTT but done right it looks awesome. just click on my signature please and leave a post on my build. THXS
