2011 Camaro front strut tower brace - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Picked up my 2011 rs on 12/24/2010 merry christmas to me.My question is has any body noticed the 3 threaded holes on the front stut towers, looks like a perfect place for a brace. Does chevy have one to fit? All the pics I look at appears the 2010 does not have these holes. I could fab one easily in my shop.

Probably for the vert

Every review I've read says don't bother with a strut brace, get shocks and and sway bars.

Is this what you are asking about?

Either they went to a common strut tower with the vert or you have a misbuild.

Has to be one or the other. Maybe an Oshwa employee can enlighten us.

No threaded holes on my 2011. I got mine in July so maybe they changed it in later builds.

They are there more than likely because the vert has the brace installed when you buy one. Just my thought.

Can we get the vert brace for the coupes? Do we need one?

There are some for SS on Ebay for 2010, don't if they fit 2011 with holes?

Interesting.

I know I had to drill my hole for my BMR brace. The 2011 I seen the other day didnt have threaded holes on the stut mounts for this.
