Yeah you can buy them for the V6's. I'm still using the strut tower brace off my 3.4 Camaro.

It's a BMR unit.

I think that BMR might be the only one that makes them for a v6 that I know of.. I bought one for my v6 and it didnt fit.. Luckly I went and bought a Z28 a few weeks later and it perfect on there

I should probally grab one up, how much difference did you notice Paar?

Oh btw, as soon as I get a chance i'll take some pics, but I just bagged my right rear, man, it made a HUGE difference in preventing wheel hop. I recommend it.

Typically the strut tower braces are sold for Z28's or V6/SS models. That might not be total truth, but just about every one I have seen has been that way.

It tightens up the front end a bit... I noticed it doesnt feel like your tie rod is gonna snap when you take turns hahaha.

I need a better pic of my engine bay, thats not impressive at all :banghead: But yea, I think I might pick one of those up when I get the chance. I've gotta get a pillarpod first though for my new gauges. Already got my boost gauge, air/fuel ratio gauge, and oil press gauge for my a-pillar. Im going to go ahead and install the boost gauge and run the wiring for when I turbo it.

PS - If you cant tell, my whole engine bay is painted flat black with some silver accents.

I have one from J&M and I can feel the difference around corners a tad bit. I got it from someone who was demodding a car though and I dont know where he got it, if I find out I'll let ya know.

Ah come on man, all the sites have douches on them, not just cv6 . I am on Fullthrottlev6 too. I like this site a lot, I check almost as regularly. I am not really biased to one or the other, I have just been there longer. I love talking to and meeting lots of different people so I cruise around all the boards. Its the best way to make friends and connections

Yes, the douchebagery level of that site is insane. There tons of STBs out there that will fit seems like ur having bad luck finding them.
