2012 Strut tower brace

Sorry if this has been asked, but does anyone make a brace for 2012 SS yet? I bought a BMR and it said 2010+ but it doesn't line up. Thanks.

Chevy makes one. It is standard on the Vert and the ZL1.

Our current strut tower braces are 2010 Camaro specific and will not work with the later model shock towers that have the threaded holes already in the shock tower from the factory. We are in the process of designing a 2011 to present Camaro strut tower brace that should be available pretty soon. Everyone here will be the first to know when it is released.

Was going to get a BMR brace, but in the same boat won't fit my 2011... So instead I'm going to go with hotchkis and get drop springs at the same time Should be a great summer for Big Red

The factory brace is the least expensive and the cleanest looking.

Since you've got a 2012 just run the factory Strut Tower Brace. Your strut tower is already drilled for it, so installation couldn't be any easier.
