Ok to drive without strut tower brace?

Yea your fine don't even worry about it.

Only the 1LE, and ZL1 camaros come standard with the bar. Oh yea and all convertable camaros for extra support up front.

Oh right, thank you guys for clearing that out for me.

Lol, this reminds me of an old E30 BMW, that had to be raised off the ground a few inches, in order to get the strut tower brace to fit, otherwise it was a no go.

I doubt our cars will ever experience such tower flex with age, as monocoque chassis have come a long way, but it still has to be said.

Very, very well said...
