Is there a front strut tower brace for the 1LE

djctoto · 01-16-2026, 11:42 AM

Trying to find if there is a front strut tower brace made for the 6th Gen Camaro ZL1 with the LT4
I've found plenty available for the SS but none for the Zl1.

BMR makes one. I have one, but it ever so slightly touches the hood. Not a big deal to me, may be for others.

I saw a few on their site.
Is this the one you have.

There’s a legacy thread with details on how to install the GM Performance bar. I’ll link it.

Added link - if you want a parts list, PM me.

I noticed you have a strut mounted coolant reservoir with the bar.
Can I ask were you got both.
I have a reservoir as well so it'd be helpful to know they work together.

Again thanks.
I already have an expansion tank mounts in the same place although the tank itself and bracket are different.
Hoping it fits the same as yours.

Is that a BMR strut bar?

Yes it is BMR. And there was a small adjustment to make it fit.

I'd appreciate you providing a general description on what the adjustments needed to be made were since I'll be getting one.

Is there a point to one? I remember for my fourth gen the strut bars were pointless. Even people who had them acknowledged they were either just for looks or to give them something to lean on when trying to reach something in the back of the engine since half of it was undwr the cowl.

Its been awhile If i remember I just mounted the bracket for the tank upside down. or mounted the tank on the bottom of the bracket instead of the top. one of those worked. I looked at my car and it looks like I may have done both you will see when you get to that point
