BMR 2-Point Front Strut Tower Brace - Red Powder Coat (STB017R) - 2011-2015 Chevy Camaro V8
Reduce power-robbing chassis flex and maximize steering precision on your 5th Gen muscle car with the 2-Point Front Strut Tower Brace from BMR Suspension. Under heavy cornering, hard braking, or aggressive launches at the drag strip, the front unibody structure of the 2011-2015 Camaro experiences notable flex. This structural movement twists the chassis, leading to altered suspension geometry, less predictable handling, and diminished front-end feedback. BMR’s STB017R links the front strut towers together, creating a rigid bridge that minimizes unibody distortion and keeps your front tires planted.
Optimized for high-performance street, drag racing, and track handling applications, this front brace is built to handle heavy torque loads. It is manufactured from a combination of 1-1/4-inch and 1-inch DOM steel tubing precision MIG-welded to thick, laser-cut 1/4-inch steel plate mounting brackets. This design reinforces the front subframe area, allowing your struts and springs to work more efficiently. Featuring a 100% direct bolt-in architecture, the STB017R can be easily installed using basic hand tools in less than an hour, with no permanent modifications or welding required.
Finished in a vibrant, durable red powder coat for maximum scratch and corrosion resistance, this brace delivers a clean, race-inspired appearance under the hood. When performance is a must and you want an instantaneous upgrade in steering response and front chassis stiffness, rely on BMR Suspension.
IMPORTANT FITMENT & CLEARANCE NOTES:
- Fits V8 models only (SS and 1LE configurations). Does NOT fit V6 models.
- 2011 Model Year Warning: Please check your strut towers before ordering. This brace only fits 2011 models with the late-style factory shock towers (which have three threaded holes on each tower). If your 2011 shock towers are smooth with no holes, you must use BMR part numbers STB013, STB014, or STB016.
- Does not clear Suncoast Creations Ram Air hoods.
- Supercharger Note: While designed primarily for naturally aspirated setups, this brace is verified to clear the Edelbrock E-Force supercharger system. It does not clear most other top-mount superchargers.
- Some aftermarket or factory under-hood heat extractors may require minor trimming for perfect clearance.
