Help!! I want to install a strut tower brace on my 2000 Camaro Z28. Can anyone suggest a good make or model? Also where is a good place online to buy the brace.

 

look at the vendors of the site...I'm sure you can find a used one too in the sale section just search for it.....I think they are all about the same quality, most are very similar in design

 

Get it either for looks or for hanging towels on. I wouldn't and didn't spend the $ for a new one. Look for a used STB.

 

Another vote for they are all about the same. Look for a Group Purchase on suspension parts.
But like others have already said, they don't make a lot of difference. 4th gens dont have strut front suspension. If you want to improve handling there are smarter ways to spend your money.

 

depends on what you do with the car....
if you auto X alot with out one over time it will push the towers in at the top, so I have heard
IMO it is just for looks

 

Check out the Spohn braces we sell. Excellent quality and great pricing!

 

or as injuneer pointed out a few threads ago, its a good place to hoist your car up from when dropping the engine out the bottom

 

Thanks for the help in locating a tower brace. I found your website easy to use and ordered some items I needed. The prices were better than some other auto part sites I have viewed. Thanks again. Lyle

 

Fast Toys Performance Parts.
Thanks for the information and Great Website!! Lyle

 

I'd have to disagree with the pushing the towers in thing.

Talk to Sam Strano about this. He doesn't run one or SFC IIRC.

 

Depending on the class you are in, STB's and SFC's are not allowed in auto-x.

 

I know the 3rd gens had the problem...I had heard of people having probs with 4th gens too

 

3rd gens have struts so they have excessive loads at the towers
since 4th gens have shocks the load isnt as severe, some consider it negligible

 

No, it won't.

<-- Autocrosses with big sticky tires and can't tell a bit of difference since he sold his STB and cut off his SFCs.

On a 4th gen car, this is true.


Yes and no....

F-Stock: No STBs or SFCs
E-Street Prepared: Yes STBs, No SFCs
Street Modified: run what you brung
C-Prepared: run what you brung

 

I ran f-stock before......Not much fun, I just tore up some stuff.

as far as the towers going in at the top....this is what I was told, I don't auto-X Sorry for the bad info

Chew thanks for clearing it up
