    That would be a Strut Tower Brace. It helps battle body flex/roll when you're in hard cornering.

    98 GTP - slp powerflo cat back, built tranny, AP104s, homemade FWI and intense 180 stat.

    It was stock on 00-03 Impalas, but 04+ no longer have them. I put them on with DonRome's front and rear brackets. The rear bar made the biggest handling difference.

    Most impalas do not have the STB. The 9c1 cars came standard with it and the Buick regal(IIRC 98 or 99 and up). GPs never came with the STB from the factory, someone put it on.

    You just have to drill the holes in your strut tower then bolt it on. Not hard
