Need some sources for tower braces "shock tower braces"
BMR, Pedders, and I believe Whiteline.
2009.5 MSM GXP 500ish N/A RWHP. Mods include but aren't limited to: Texas Speed 418 (6.8L) fully forged held together with ARP from top to bottom, PRC 255cc heads, Rick Crawford intake plenum, TB port, polish and tune, Roto-Fab 102mm CAI w/LS7 MAF, Kooks 1-7/8" headers wrapped with DEI, Corsa catless system, Circle D 3200 Stall, 3.45 final drive, BMR's complete street bushing kit and sway bars, Eibach Pro Kit, G-Force Axles, running on staggered VMR 710's with Bridgestone RE11 rubber. HSV triple gauge pack with Calais smokers kit mod, V6 tails, debadge/rebadge, V6 door handles, AU black door trim, Maverick Man under hood strut covers, & washer and bolt kit, fully corrected paint thanks to Adams Polishes and my hard work. Built with reliability in mind with some power for those times when you need to pass or go over a big hill. Just a poser, not a racer!
Only go with BMR if you have your mind set on having one of these. Your hood blanket will thank you.
Rest in Peace Charlie!

not true but believe what you wish.
I'll admit its not as good as it could be - IE in a perfect world they would be triangulated to the firewall in the middle of the rail. Failing that - they are indeed helpful to the car's rigidity.
I will say they are really only useful for someone that has upgraded their swaybars - or changed springs and shocks. Conversly it is probably also good for anyone with the sunroof option as their chassis has less torsional rigidity.

Maybe the one's that go from tower to tower. The BMR brace is connected to the little stud where you put your catch can. There's no support there.

Whiteline sells some quick release clamps for their strut tower brace. This would probably help if you ever need to do any work that requires you to remove the intake manifold.
