GM is really on their game recently, but they've always been kind of a "giant slayer" with performance cars so it's no real surprise. |

First modification coming and it's pretty much useless:
BMR strut tower brace. Why? $101 shipped. GM puts these on the convertibles but by all accounts, it's not needed on the coupes. So for $101 shipped I'll add it and see. I'll probably end up taking it off and replacing it with the GM part when I do the 1LE upgrade.

I'm surprised that GM even developed one, lol. Ford makes one too and the RS even has one from the factory even though the towers are nearly on the firewall...
I guess every last bit of stiffness helps the suspension do what they want it to. |

For the coupe, it speaks volumes when even the 1LE/ZL1 don't come with the strut brace. For what it's worth, there already are bars connecting the rear of each tower to the firewall. It's a stiff chassis in coupe form. I'll probably get the GM one later after I do the 1LE suspension just for ****s and giggles. Parts are so cheap now!

Here are the brace matrices to show what model gets what from GM. Pretty cool of them to provide this information to us.

I honestly wonder if 1LE/Coupe guys will add the X and Y braces to their cars - Like a lot of E36 coupe owners did (from the E36 verts) back in the day

I had a very hard time with the Mustang GT with Performance Pack that was there. The 911 could gain in the tight turns, but otherwise it was nearly impossible to keep him off of my bumper. Since the SS is even faster, it's safe to say that the 911 would have been lagging.

Great question, I'm wondering the same thing. How many of these are effective on a coupe, how many are simply adding weight?

Probably into the point of diminishing returns. Modern cars are so much stiffer than an E36 or even E46... and maybe even the E92 lol |
