The sway bar does not seem to be correct for a wbody. Be careful Summit has massive catalog errors as well.

This place is even cheaper than Summit, confirms it fits 2000 thru 2012 Impala so I would think it should work? Never heard of them though.

Yes, already posted I will be getting the correct Moog control arms. The ZZP arms that others have used are too much money for me, and salt would **** them up if driven in bad weather.

To the right you can see where I had to slightly enlarge the flange to fit around and clear the lip area.



You'll see the 2 lines here that needed to be cut back to clear the bracket area for the BMR stb to clear. After all that your all set. Took me about 30 minutes to figure it out and test fit and execute.


Can you let me know the part number that you ordered for the rear bar. The bar on the BMR site doesnt look the same.This bar looks to have a strut nut hole on the inside of the bracket, yours looks outside?I am contemplating between this , a used SLP rear bar that would probably need the same mods or the factory with Don Rome. Thanks

So just the BMR picture is wrong? that picture isn't the same as the one you have, the bolt holes for the strut towers are different? Do you see what I am referring to by comparing your picture with that picture? Thanks

Nah the picture is the same I just snapped another pic hopefully you see it better. FYI to my knowledge I don't think SLP ever made a strut tower brace for wbodies.

Got it. Thank you for this. I don't know, the guy says they are SLP braces. He is local to me so I may have a look at them. They are black, and adjustable.

Dragging up this older thread as I am contemplating this as a winter project as the GXP is off the road for the winter. Hey Parkave do you think something like this could be fabricated using parts thrown together from different sources? I would rather not cut the seat support unless needed. I was thinking just trying to piece something together and weld some brackets to the rear tower.
This looks beefy!

Then some brackets, these bolt on but could be welded for sure. These are just an idea , not sure if the size or fitment is correct yet.

Thoughts?
