Does anyone make a chassis brace for 2015 SS. I'm looking for something like http://unibrace.com/products/ for example. I have one of these on my 2011 Golf GTI and it makes a world of difference.

Some will argue that such a brace is not required to stiffen up the fifth gen Camaro, and instead opt for solid rear subframe bushings such as the ones from Pegasus as they are much lighter but also stiffen up the rear end so much that it feels like a whole new car. However, if you do want a brace there are a few companies that make them.

Cradle Bushings will give you a lot more bang for the buck vs Subframe Connectors 5th Gens

Yep solids would be the way to go..

I have the brace and solids...

My brace also protects my aux fuel system..

If you look at the video the cradle still moves a little bit but install one of the many solid cradle bushing sets and that stops with no increase in NVH!!!

Go solid subframe bushings, they work great! You can find them here:
