at SLP day yesturday i baught a 96-97 camaro SS strut tower brace because they were out of the normal 93 - 02 tower braces. they said it'd work just the same and it'll work no problems.

when i went to put it on the passenger side is really close to the A/C lines, and the sensor even pushes up against the bar. is this normal?

 

Yes it's normal, I had to do to mine and three other friends that installed them too, and we all have different manufacturers bars.
