    Advice, please, on Hotchkiss Strut Tower Braces

    Several years ago, I installed a BMR STB on my '98 WS6 Trans Am. I have been pleased with it, but am now thinking of switching to the better-looking (I'm a sucker for better-looking) Hotchkiss STB.

    Does it install as easily as the BMR? Any clearance problems? Any other problems or advice?

    Your comments would be appreciated.

    I have one on my 1999 M6 TA with traction control. Installation was alittle tricky due to the traction control lines, but easy to figure out. It took 15 minutes to install. Check with Hotchkis about installing on an automatic Transmission. I would think the Auto Trans filler stick may get in the way unless they have a trick (I'm sure they do).

      Go for it. A simple install as already noted. Be sure to uise the spacers that come with it to make it a solid mount.
