If my research is correct this should be the correct bolt size, Bolt M8 x (1.25mm) x 40mm, input ?

strut brace mounting question..
Since i'am going to do sways i was considering a strut brace aswell. Can someone break it down for me. I posted pics to kinda of demonstrate what iam talking about.
I see how the BMR brace are bolted strait to the strut then i seen the oem 1LE brace and Hotchkis are bolted to what appears to be the car. Like the oem and Hotchkis brace how does that brace the strut if its not bolted to it. |

The GM strut tower brace will not work on a 2010 or early 2011 without buying a pretty expensive mounting kit in addition to the strut tower brace itself. |

1LE bar - yes with stock SS Hood.
ZL1 bar - no with stock SS Hood. ZL1 is / has more bend height to clear the Supercharger and needs the ZL1 hood which has a taller center section. My SS with 1LE bar.

I'm almost there. Saturday I de-greased the 1LE brace for my SS, then applied adhesion promoter. Sunday I painted it black, and today masked it for Camaro lettering. I used a laser engraver to cut the lettering:
Then painted the lettering the same silver that's on my engine cover, and finished with matte clear coat. I'm going to let it cure for a few days before installing, as i still have to mount my catch can first.

Ordered the GM brace and had it painted white to match the car on my '12 2SS. Mind controlled by Cerebro
