I'm not saying that the tower brace won't stiffen up the front some, but it won't help with body roll. Roll can be helped with sway bars and/or springs/coil overs/etc.

oh i want Hotchkis on my car i have never heard a bad story about them or a single negative thing sed once. but i work for 11.08$ an hour 7-6 days a week for 8 hours grave yard shift. and my state as it is 3.20$ for gas food 150 a month. after taxes witch takes more from me because im over min wage and takes more because im working over 40 hours a week.
my money for spending on mods is severely limited to 75$ a month that i can put away while trying to save up to move. so my options are limited to what i can afford. and OEM GM parts are cheap and relatively well made. my rout to work is mostly canyons and freeway with long sweeper turns.
the body roll i feel is up front not down low but around the hood line and fenders. the suspension does not dip or pull the car like it would if the problem was there in hard sharp corners i feel the limitations of the stock sway bars and suspension the rear i dont feel much limitation ex when exiting a long sweeper or sharp turn and really hammering the gas down
