Has anyone installed strut tower braces on and an 8th gen SS? Ive heard that doing so works wonders for reducing body roll. Im looking for tips on how to go about getting this done. Any suggestions?

I guess no one has any convincing information.I am looking for anyone who can give a more concise description of how well the strut tower braces improve the handling/ride. I will install them if I know for sure they are worth getting.
oh ok and its just supposed to stiffen the ride? it makes sense... its just strange that if it made such a difference then why wouldn't it be stock lolThe rear strut towers, of course.
In the trunk, behind the carpeted paneling.
To answer your first question, no I wouldnt say it stiffens the ride persay... more like it reduces the body roll youll feel when taking turns. The rear brace is more crucial then the front. I honestly am not going to try to B.S. you into thinking I know the physics of how it works, but "A strut bar is designed to reduce this strut tower flex by tying two parallel strut towers together. This transmits the load of each strut tower during cornering via tension and compression of the strut bar which shares the load between both towers and reduces chassis flex."

haha ya alright true. Damn don't remind me, Chevy really needs to put out some sort of SS 4 door car soon I just don't see how there is no market for it...To answer your first question, no I wouldnt say it stiffens the ride persay... more like it reduces the body roll youll feel when taking turns.

To answer your second question, it wasnt stock because you bought a Chevy. Chevys BUILDS TO A PRICE... its one of the reasons why you spend $30K for a new Impala SS, and $42K for a Dodge Challenger. The same goes with the shitty transmission, interior materials, and lacking optional AWD platform.
