Just picked these up from someone on forums.... Is it just a simple bolt on? Do i have to get them torqued to a specific amount?

Did you actually notice a difference in handling? I thought the alpha was so stiff it didn't need it.

I think the biggest improvement is a NVH reduction, which can have driver confidence effects. Second might be camber control under extreme braking when the two towers are trying to move in opposite directions (probably toward each other).

The GM convertible strut bar doesn't fit over anything taller than the stock manifold.

Thatgmpartsguy says "***SS BAR IS NOW RELEASED! LT STRUT BAR IS NOT AVAILABLE YET*** Pre Orders On LT Bar is available. No GM Expected Release date at this time."

Not much help, but at least we know it's being worked on at any point between now and infinity.

I noticed looking under the hood of a 2017 ZL1, there is and impression for what looks like a strut tower brace, has anyone hear if the GM part fits, or if it's in the works?
