Sorry I don't know what is the world in english.

I guess it will be = anti-twist barPlease check the image.

It is a bar connected from one side to the other in order
to provide stability in curves and prevent the chassis from twisting.

Google - "5th gen Camaro strut tower brace".

There are a few options. BMR is one of the more popular.

That's called the strut bar, and it doesn't keep the chassis from twisting, it only ties the front strut towers together to help keep the front end stable in corners, nothing for the chassis. You can get one from the Chevy dealer parts dept, which is what I did, and paint it, or you can get one already painted from RPI Designs, and if you want to stiffen up the chassis, Hotchkis has a subframe brace that works well..

Thank you so much guys for share your knowledge.

That is a OEM Strut tower braces, there are some aftermarket ones as well. I would also add Solid cradle bushings if I was you. The hotckis chassis brace also works very well, I ran that before the solid bushings and it really did work. I currently still run it with my solids even though it probably isn't doing as much as it did. If you are going to track it there are quiet a few things to address and some of them are easier to do all at once when you drop the rear cradle.

On the strut bars, the red BMR one is a very nice piece, the second one is the OEM stock style, and works too, I and a lot of other guys have one. If you are racing the car, the BMR would be a better selection for that. As for the Hotchkis chassis brace, that also is a worthy piece and will really make a difference in your chassis being sturdy. And you might want to look into these solid rear cradle mounts too, to stiffen up the rear end from all the deflection of the rubber ushings.

Thank you so much for all the information.


All tips related in a way to improve my car to do a good track day will be really appreciated.


I already had some track days but when my Camaro was naturaly aspirated. Now I can't wait to go again with my Twin Turbo setup.


But I must admit. My car now is kind unstable. I for sure will need to improve the handling. He is kind of loose every time I go over some bump.

If it were me I would go with the BMR Part, And honestly It would be more for the look as I don't believe there is a performance difference between the two. I highly recommend The solid bushings for the cradle, The Hotckis brace will also make a noticeable difference for sure. You really should think about Upper CA Bushings, Adjustable Toe rods tailing arms and Lower controls arms while you are back there. I did not do adjustable LCA when I swapped out and I wish I did as I had trouble getting my alignment specs.
