I have the Hotchkis brace, which came as part of the Hotchkis Race Pack I purchased and installed on my car. I installed the springs, swaybars, endlinks, chassis brace, and strut tower brace all at once, which made a big difference in the car, but I can't tell you what the strut tower brace would do by itself. My guess would be very little on it's own, much bigger improvements would be made with a stiffer rear sway bar and lowering the car on stiffer springs.
If you have a supercharger or think you might get one, ask the manufacturers whether their bar will allow clearance, since you are going to be drilling holes to install it. The Hotchkis bar has the clearance and comes with a little bracket to relocate a Magnacharger intercooler reservoir if you go that route.
Cosmetically, it looks nice under the hood.

Does anyone have a Strut Tower brace and what did you notice? I noticed a difference on other cars I had but I am wondering on the SS. What have you noticed with yours is steering feel better? Or did you notice nothing and it is just cosmetic?
