thanks! i will go with the GM choice. any idea if you have to drill holes to install it? if so how much will a dealership charge to install? i have no experience with doing anything to cars. also where did you find it for $110? im being charged $150.

I liked the BMR brace. I bought it unpainted and had it chromed. It was more than $110 but it's much more substantial than the GM bar.

The GM brace is simple to install, remove existing bolts ,set the brace in place and reinsert the bolts removed and tighten them back up! You are done !

If you have holes that are already predrilled and tapped then you just drop the strut brace in and bolt it in place. 2010 and early 2011 models didn't have the holes drilled and tapped.
