Black Friday is coming up, ZZP is bound to have a deal on strut braces. I am running ZZP braces on my Monte, I'm 100% happy with them. I had to hone out/widen the mounting holes like other have done, but work great.

Depends how hard you are pushing the car for how much you want to pay (but I am certain ZZP is as good or better then the stock braces).

It comes with bolts only, either you have to drill the car or buy/fabricate brackets.
