Yup BMR is the way to go. Buy it just primered and get it chromed or painted. The BMR strut brace is a heavy duty brace where the GM brace looks more cosmetic. I could tell the difference the first time I drove my car after it was installed.

I like the look of the 2 point from Spohn, but you cant use a top mount supercharger.


Whats the idea, other than firmness behind 2 pt. vs. 4 pt. like the BMR?

How is the Nickey 1LE Camaro with a Maggie clearing that brace? I thought the dimensions would be off, since it doesn't work with the LSA (according to the Ebay site).

I don't usually comment on every great looking car pictured on the Camaro5 forums. It would take all my time and I'd never get to see the next one ... and the next greatest to come a long. But credit where credit is due: that sir, is one fantastic looking Camaro. Completely and seriously clean, but bad-ass looking. Congrats and keep up the work. I love that look.

The Spohn strut tower brace is just a powdercoated GM strut tower brace so other than the color it is no different than what you would receive from GM. All of our BMR strut tower brace work very well in minimizing the flex in the front end of the Camaros. The reason we make the different versions is to really give people options as far as looks go. Everybody has different taste and wants a different look so we tried to offer as many options as we could.

The chromed look definitely gives these Camaros a unique under hood look. We offer our parts in red and black hammertone finishes but we also sell them bare for anyone wanting to do something unique and different.
