    I don’t see a tremendous amount of options for this. I thought perhaps there is a size where I can just search with that method? Anyone have any thoughts on brands when it comes to this type of product?

    I am just learning about this product. I am not buying this for any real performance gain. Just really wanted to add a red one For looks.

    Drop some knowledge on me if you have some.

    Hope everyone in our community is doing well during these times. ****ing **** show out there.

    Keep on Smiling

    I have front and rear BMR bars on my 00 GT. They made a noticeable difference and they're adjustable. Stock they come in red. It bolts underneath all 3 strut nuts and has a complete steel ring that it connects to, unlike the GM bars that just get drilled into the strut housing. They were not cheap but worth it to me. My thought is if I'm spending money on any of my cars then why not upgrade something that makes it perform better and not just look cool.

    If you're set on just doing this for "looks" then you can probably grab one from a Monte Carlo IIRC.

    ZZP still has them available IIRC. a relatively cheap option, and still available in red. Probably not as effective as the BMR's that Fordman is talking about, but probably handles the "bling" factor effectively.

    I did notice the brand BMR. I have a 2004 , The brackets appear to be a different design for my year. I appreciate the brand recommendation and alternative..


    I am new to really all car mods and lingo. Late bloomer , lol. When I google the Monte Carlo IRC strut bar it seems unclear. Could you post a link to what you are referring to ?

    Thanks again

    I just looked up the BMR bar again and this is what showed up--> 1996 - 2006 W-Body Chassis | Strut Tower Braces | BMR Suspension

    This should fit your 04. If any doubt I'd just email them to double check.
