gmpp strut tower brace question
So I ordered one, buddy of mine says it won't make a noticeable increase in handling/steering. I have a full bolt on + cam l99 with 315 DRs. Thoughts?

I've heard that you can feel the difference and that the car feels more rigid and planted but i think its all in their heads

Installed mine at 10k mi ( torqued to spec 16 ft lbs ) and immediately heard squeaking/metal straining type sound near sunroof passenger side for the first 2/3 days. So I have to conclude it tightened mine up some. I would also swear it feels a tiny bit tighter in turns ...must be the Camaro lettering LOL

I didn't feel a thing, didn't expect to. Bought for the looks and anything else would be a plus

Had a front and rear on my 2010 Challenger. They definitely helped.

While this subject has come up again.....I'll ask. Has anyone yet to come up with a decent kit that allows us 2010 folks to install the GM brace?
