2001 Pontiac Trans Am

The shock tower brace is the easiest item to install, so it's up first. Underhood, there are four fasteners holding the top of each shock assembly, but only the two forward nuts need to be removed on each side via a 15mm deep socket. It's easiest to slip the brace onto the passenger-side studs first. Thanks to some cruise control and throttle cables (as well as A/C lines and brackets in the area, which vary by model year), minor adjustments may be needed. We didn't encounter any trouble, and even our nitrous lines did not require rerouting.
