Tower Strut brace?
What tower strut brace fits the 22’ ZL1?
|
Too my knowledge none do. Super charger makes clearance an issue. I know the GM Performance ones don't fit. Ask me how I know lol.
|
The BMR fits. Total bling mod.

I was informed by Bmr that there stainless steel
Strut (stb020) fits. But there website says up to 2020? |
BMR Strut Brace

I have the BMR in my 2018 and it fits great, no contact ever with a lot of hard track use. There is no difference between a 2018 and a 2022, if there was we would have heard all about it.
No doubt this stout piece of steel stiffens the chassis in a very key place and every serious race car in the world uses something like this, so I don't see how it can be only bling |

I hope I'm not mis-remembering, but I recall reading somewhere that GM engineers were asked about the strut brace and they admitted it had little benefit if any due to the overall very stiff structure of the Alpha platform. So, it really is just for looks. That's the only reason I have one, and that's because I was able to get it used for less than $100 :-) Nigel |
I’m just making sure the damn thing fits under the hood
Before I buy it….it looks awfully tight over the Supercharger and hood clearance, I’m assuming That the 2018’s through the 2022’s are the same In regards to hood and supercharger lid. |

If the bar cost $1000 or made any contact under throttle I wouldn't buy it, but it's cheap and fits perfectly and I know my front suspension is reinforced to the max so it makes sense to me. The GM product people are going to say it doesn't make much difference because they didnt want to engineer and pay for a different Camaro brace to fit the ZL1 supercharger, they nickle and dime every $10 for max profit. And if it doesn't stiffen a Camaro why do they have a Camaro brace available? I don't think the ZL1 has any additional bracing or welding vs. the standard Camaro they made the strut brace for (maybe I'm wrong). |

SFV, thx for the pic and info, I’m installing this
Because it’s a vert, and I know it needs it, I’m not buying for bling,as I’ve installed strut braces on previous Older Camaro’s, but they had plenty of room under hood. |

The car already has a brace. The Camaro Design Chief says it didn't need a strut-to-strut brace https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=517935 It's a dress up piece and may even have negative impact on handling. If you stiffen the front too much, you'll introduce understeer. |
