16-24 Camaro SS Strut Tower Brace - BMR

FITS 2016-2024 CAMARO ( SS MODELS )
Installation Instructions

DESCRIPTION:

Reduce chassis flex and sharpen front-end response on your 2016-2024 Chevrolet Camaro with the BMR Suspension Front Strut Tower Brace, Part Number STB018. Designed to reinforce the sixth-generation Camaro's front unibody and suspension mounting points, the STB018 solidly connects the front strut towers with a strong two-point brace. By reducing unwanted chassis movement under cornering and other high-load conditions, BMR's strut tower brace helps improve chassis stiffness, handling response, and overall suspension consistency. Even with relatively mild levels of horsepower and torque, BMR notes that the Camaro chassis can experience significant flex. When the front chassis structure deflects, some suspension input can be absorbed through chassis movement instead of being translated directly into predictable vehicle response. The STB018 addresses this by connecting the strut mounting points, reinforcing both the front unibody and suspension structure. BMR manufactures the STB018 from a combination of heavy-duty 1 x 1.5-inch rectangular steel tubing and laser-cut 3/16-inch steel plate. This robust construction adds substantial strength to the front frame and suspension while creating a rigid connection between the two front strut towers. The result is considerably increased chassis stiffness for performance driving. The STB018 utilizes a two-point design that directly links the Camaro's front strut towers. Strengthening this area helps the chassis maintain its shape under lateral loads, allowing the suspension to operate from a more stable foundation. For performance enthusiasts, this increased rigidity can translate into improved steering response, greater handling consistency, and a more connected feel during aggressive cornering. Installation is straightforward thanks to the STB018's 100% bolt-in design. BMR engineered the brace so it can be installed with basic hand tools without welding or permanent chassis fabrication. BMR lists installation time at less than one hour, making the STB018 a relatively simple chassis upgrade with meaningful benefits for compatible sixth-generation Camaro applications. BMR designed the STB018 for street performance, drag racing, and handling applications. Available in Black Hammertone or Red powdercoat finishes, the brace combines functional chassis reinforcement with BMR's recognizable performance appearance and durable protection. Proudly designed and manufactured in the USA, the STB018 is an excellent addition for Camaro owners looking to improve front chassis rigidity and handling without extensive vehicle modification.

Important Notes

• Does NOT fit Camaro ZL1 models.
• Does NOT fit V6-equipped Camaro models.
• Does NOT fit 2.0L Turbo Camaro models.
• Based on BMR's exclusions, this brace should be treated as a V8-specific application for compatible non-ZL1 sixth-generation Camaro models.
• Does NOT fit vehicles equipped with the MSD Atomic intake manifold. BMR specifically identifies this compatibility restriction.
• Always verify intake manifold and underhood component clearance before ordering if the vehicle has extensive engine modifications.
• The brace connects the strut mounting points to reinforce the front unibody and suspension.
• The Camaro chassis can flex dramatically even with mild levels of horsepower and torque.
• Increasing front chassis stiffness helps provide a more stable platform from which the suspension can operate.
• STB018 is a chassis reinforcement component and does not alter spring rates, ride height, shock damping, or suspension alignment settings.
• Because the brace strengthens the chassis rather than replacing suspension bushings or pivots with solid components, it is a useful upgrade for street-performance vehicles where improved chassis rigidity is desired without directly changing suspension compliance.
• Vehicles equipped with aftermarket superchargers, intake manifolds, engine covers, catch cans, reservoirs, or other underhood modifications should have clearance verified before installation.
• Professional installation is recommended for customers unfamiliar with front chassis and suspension components.
