you will be amazed at how the car feels after this seemingly small mod. when just turning and on speed bumps or driveways, the car won't twist as much.

I've heard both but I honestly would only get it for its cosmetic addition...not to mention since i have an early '11 I would have to get the adaptor kit which is just as much as the dam brace

you don't have threaded holes in yours? I thought all 2011+ did.

let me quote this again, I have no proof on the Camaro, but I've had them on smaller cars, ie, civics and acura RSX's, and it made a huge difference. might be less noticeable on these tanks, compared to civics, but there is less flex with these struts. at least there should be.

That's what all the major suspension brands said. Ran a bunch of tests. I'll find you the thread. I think pfadt even stopped making theirs and pedders never started because they always said it had no impact at all on these cars

Early production '11s don't have them.

I'd do it if car shows is the target though. Most will like the looks and think it works
