Maybe, but if they are so great, why don't the Grand Am Cup Cobalts use them?

Just in my personal experiance, I can tell you the 85$ is a worth while investment.
In my Z24 convertable, the body flex was AWEFUL! which ultimately resulted in 1200.00 worth of repairs. basically I was told had I had the strut tower brace on there, that it could have been avoided. So, weather or not its a worth while performance product (which I think it is as the steering is a lot tighter around turns) its a good way to prevent future problems.

in reality, it really doesnt do much....it does tighten the ride up just a LITTLE, but its something nice to look at, and its always nice to have some suspension mods

That's very true! I didn't think of that! Maybe that's why they don't use a front sway bar either?

In the SS it's a great investment. I would fork the $$ over for it.
