For those of you that have a Hellcat and have had another Challenger did you notice any difference in the construction of the strut tower or the cowl support (the part you would connect your strut bar to cowl area). Just curious.
Strut tower and cowl support

What I have heard from a fab shop is that the rear strut barce from a 2013 SRT Challenger fits the rear of the HC just fine. Right off the bat for the front strut brace of the HC is that there's a coolant tank sitting on top of the passenger side strut tower. I don't know, yet, if that coolant wasn't there if the same strut tower brace could just simply drop into place. I will be checking this out next weekend. Of course any strut tower brace will have to run behind the SC, which I beleive the one I want to use should.
It shouldn't be too long before there's a plethora of mod part avaliable for the HC. I am also investigating CC options and solutions too.

Well after seeing them in person the cowl support and strut towers look to be no different than any other Challenger with the exception of a coolant tank mounted over the passenger side tower.This pretty much sums up what I thought about Challengers needing extra support ( read Strut brace) If that area can hold up to 707HP and 650 ft lbs of torque plus generate close to 1 g Cornering force unless you are a serious track car driver I think the brace turns out to be more bling than help. I am sure I am about to be flamed but that is my opinion.

Too cold here to flame a deset guy. Lol. I will say that with my strut braces, i have noticed significantly less body roll when cornering.
I don't doubt the rear might be of help as I have not looked at the rear area of a Hellcat but to decrease body roll significantly usually requires bigger anti roll bars ( sway bars).
