BMR is the only company making a subframe connector for the 2010 Camaro. The BMR subframe connector connects the front subframe to the driveshaft tunnel to the rear subframe.
The other chassis brace connects to the rear cradle, not the rear subframe. The problem is that the rear cradle assembly has a bushing between the cradle and the body of the car. As that bushing flexes, the chassis brace flexes as well.
At BMR, we feel that the best way to stiffen the chassis is to connect the subframe connector from one solid point (front subframe) to another solid point (rear subframe). Even better if you can connect to a 3rd solid point (driveshaft tunnel). Other companies stiffen the chassis by connecting a solid point to a flexible point.
By the way, the BMR piece is $150-$200 less expensive as well.
