Grand Moff Joseph Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Posted February 20, 2006 Good, but I was hoping you would tell us which ones it would fit also. (please?) Quote
J Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 it'll fit a 3800 and a 3.1/2.8 for sure get the zzp brackets for a clean install Quote
Grand Moff Joseph Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Posted February 20, 2006 Thank you, Mr. Baker. You are a gentleman and a scholar. (not to mention a lumber jack) Quote
badassoldspower Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 i have that one in the front on my cutlass Quote
terryk2003 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 i have that one in the front on my cutlass me too! Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 Well I got the RSM bars....... over paid for them babies... Quote
Grand Moff Joseph Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Posted February 20, 2006 I just now noticed that the above Ebay auction is for a STB kit that includes two bars, one of which I assume is for the rear. However, am I correct to assume that the rear bar will not fit in a Lumina? Quote
92 GP Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 it'll fit a 3800 and a 3.1/2.8 for sureget the zzp brackets for a clean install They won't work on a 88-96 GP, i know that one. Shoulda gotten pics, but i sized everything up last week, i got some ZZP brackets in, borrowed a friends front GM STB, and it was pretty far off. You could probably make the brakets work, but more work than worth, and it raises it up pretty damn high. Might be good for the LQ1 guys to fuck with Quote

Might be good for the LQ1 guys to fuck with uhh...they work just fine...i was kinda upset that i spent so much for the brackets and had to elongate the holes in the bar...but it works... BTW: thats NOT my car...BUT, i have one on mine... Quote
mihela816 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 They work great. I have them on my car. Quote
Grand Moff Joseph Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Posted February 22, 2006 Wait, so if I were to buy these, I would then be forced to buy ZZP brackets, which I would have to modify to make work anyway?? Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 I believe the ZZP brackets just bolt up. No modding needed. Quote
Grand Moff Joseph Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Posted February 22, 2006 That's what I thought too, but I know a number of people have stated that they had to mod the brackets to make the STB fit. Problem is, I don't know what type of cars they were all using... Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 The strut towers on every single car aren't going to line up the same way, so of course there's the possibility of them not matching up perfect. For example: my vert STB went right on the Cutlass no problem. Dropped right on. The TGP took a little bit of playing to get it on, it didn't line up perfect. The STE... I had to try to bend the thing a little while playing with the nuts to keep it held down but still moveable. It seriously took me 45 minutes and a crowbar. They won't work on a 88-96 GP, i know that one. Yes, they do, and many people are using them just fine. Are you sure you even ordered the correct ones? They make different sets for both first and second gens, you know... I just hate when people start spewing incorrect information on a topic that has been so widely covered... at least once a week Quote
