2011 Strut rower brace on 2010 Camaro
So I bought the 2011 Strut tower brace and I need to implant it into the 2010 bodywork.
There is an installation kit, but I can not find it anywhere. Does anyone have this experience please? George. |

I'll surely put a lot of photos from the installation.
Many people have already done this installation. So I do not see the reason for the potential problem. But it will take a while. The consignment travels over the sea. |

Did mine several months back. Turned out great! Pic below is from the time of installation. However, the only thing I would advise at this point is to get rounded hex stainless steel bolts and go from the underside of the strut towers and put the lock nuts on top in the engine bay. Reason behind this - it will give more clearance for your springs. I had an issue with the bolts rubbing against my stock springs. It will also become problematic if you lower the car in the future. TPIS sells a different bolt kit for those who wish to provide more clearance for their springs. Otherwise they stick out like a sore thumb on the underside and need to be cut with a dremel.

Does anyone here have the brace that goes under the car too? I think Spohn company makes it, but there may be other people too.
I'm thinking that if you had that along with the strut bar, it would really stiffen up the front of the car. |

I don't have a link for the substitute rounded hex bolts since it is not online. However, here is the pic below of the kit as you saw on their page. It is the same bolts used in the pics that I used after. It is different than the later version of the bolts that you saw in my first uploaded pic of my strut tower brace. However if you call TPIS, and ask for Jakson Stevens. He is the one who assisted me in getting these other bolts. They cost me $25 shipped. I still had to cut the bolts down with a dremel so that it would not go through the hood of my car. I plan to paint them black to give them a nice contrast under the hood. 1st Pic - TPIS Bolts 2nd Pic - Old bolts underside 3rd Pic - New Bolts underside 4th Pic- RH side top 5th Pic - LH side top

I would not paint top screws. I would use an black plastic screws covers. I see that the gas piston grip must also be moved. What did you do with the original sheet? Cut off? You have it processed in very high quality |
