Magnuson TVS2650 Tower Brace spacers? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Looking to install a Magnuson TVS2650 this spring when the car is out of hibernation, and was wondering if anyone installed one that had a 2014-2015 with the strut tower brace?

I know it doesn't fit it but I am wondering if the brace can still be used with spacers, or is there no room at all and just have to take the L and go without the brace?

Pics would be great, and if spacers work, what size spacers are you running?

I reinstalled mine after was told it wouldn't work. Had to do some grinding to clear the hood strut bracket and elongate the mounting holes till the bolts would line up. I used flat washers as shims to get to the clearance I wanted and then machined aluminum spacers for final assembly. Be careful not to go too high. My bolts just barely touch the underside of the hood when closed. PM me your phone number and I'll send you some pics.

Are you going with the 2650 pi or the 2650 hot rod?
