BMR Rear Strut Tower Brace - Black Hammertone (STB006H) - 1997-2003 GM W-Body
Eliminate performance-robbing chassis flex and maximize handling stability on your late-90s to early-2000s midsize muscle machine with the Rear Strut Tower Brace from BMR Suspension. The GM W-Body platform delivers versatile comfort and strong V6 performance, but its long unibody chassis experiences massive structural flex under load—especially in the rear cabin area. When pushing through aggressive corners, handling hard transitions, or launching at the track, the rear shock towers deflect, altering suspension geometry and causing loose or unpredictable rear-end behavior. BMR’s STB006H ties the rear strut towers directly together to provide a robust cross-chassis bridge, drastically reducing unibody twist.
Engineered for street performance, drag racing, and handling applications, this rear 2-point brace delivers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. It is manufactured using lightweight, premium 1-1/8-inch machined aluminum tubing mated to extra-rigid, laser-cut 3/16-inch steel plate mounting brackets. By interlocking the rear strut points, this brace forces your rear shocks and springs to work efficiently, resulting in vastly improved cornering stability, flatter handling, and more predictable driver control. Boasting a 100% direct bolt-in design, the brace installs smoothly in your trunk using simple hand tools in less than an hour without any custom cutting, drilling, or welding required.
Finished in a durable, textured black hammertone powder coat on the mounting brackets for exceptional scratch resistance and an understated look, this brace brings lasting style and structural utility to your vehicle. When performance is a must and you want an instantaneous upgrade in chassis rigidity and cornering confidence, rely on BMR Suspension.
