They DEFINATELY stiffen the car noticably, and recommend them to anyone driving aggresive.

Wasn't there a post before on this where someone had some pic's of the installation? Can someone post that link and a link to GMPP's site where to buy them? This nis the final mod to my suspension I am wanting to do, and at that price it's time to get it done!

I know I paid a little more for my ZZP braces, but they were an EASY bolt on brace, at least the back was. The front was 1/4" short, and I had to mill them out on a Bridgeport mill, but that was easy for me. Still better that drilling the holes.
And don't you have to remove the struts to bolt those in? My '01 SS LE had that strut from the factory, and it had nuts welded to the underside if the strut tower.
only the rear struts. it says the fronts can stay on while you drill i believe.
you don't need to remove the struts to install the rears. you use the existing bolts and just enlarge one of the holes on the STB and it fits right in.

I went ahead and drilled mine while I was doing coilovers. Came out pretty clean IMO.
