You will have to get the mounts from ZZP, then that bolts right to it. All I did was set it up so it fits then I painted it the color of my car. Strut Tower Brace Components If you just get the part from gmpartsdirect then you will have to dril holes.

Ebay usually has the bolt on "OTTO Racing" STB's. They're usually fairly inexpensive. I think I bought mine for less than $30 shipped, but that was like 3 years ago.

Yes, I noticed a difference when I mounted my front one.
I did other things to the car when I mounted the rear one, so I have no idea what the rear will do for you by itself.
