    Are the ZZP Strut tower braces any good? I see that they are cheaper than the few other places I've seen them, thanks.

    get ZZP or BMR or something other than GMPP.

    basically if it doesnt mount to all three bolts for the strut then its no good.

    I think GMPP would be better than nothing but I think the ZZP brace for the front, at least for now, is now what I'm going to get. Thank you both for your feedback.

    Why would you drill holes in your strut towers?

    thats all i've gotta say haha.

    The more places it mounts the more energy it can transfer.

    Honestly I was going to see if I could work on bolting the GMPP bar to an adapter or something because the last thing I want to do is drill holes to let rust start.

    You are wanting the don rome brackets with the GMPP strut bars. They work fine with the brackets. I have read over on club gp that the ZZP strut bar has fitment issues.

    Though all STB bars will have fit issues if your body is bent out of shape already.

    ^This. DRcustomparts.com has the brackets I've seen used most with GMPP bars.

    BMR is the best design though in my opinion.

    speedbuilts can be had for under a 100 nowadas. theyre a legit design, mount to all 3 holes, and strut bars are a compliment more than a drastic change in handling.
