Lowes... i broke all the little plastic push clips when installing my battery and system. Just go to lowes --> fastners-->Automotive--> you'll find them. BTW they were like half the price from advance..

 

--edit--

 

Get the kind that are screw in they are the same except you screw them down to expand them instead of just pushing them down. Alot easyer to remove later

I called a dealer already and there is no such item still available for the front STB's for Cutlasses.... not around here anyways? :shrug:

 

Since Jay can't make a specific post, they are for the second gens. They are called the Buick F-bar for the Regals. The only STB for first gens where the Convertible ones.

It's actually for a second gen Regal. You have to drill holes in the strut cover plates or buy these http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_prix/products1.php?id=139 .

 

damn those are more expensive than the actual bar itself :?

 

rsmracing.com has them for you as well

 

yeah...they are more expensive...and IMO they're not worth what they cost...there is really nothing to them...just 2 pieces of metal...the bar still doenst just BOLT RIGHT UP like they claim...the holes didnt line up...i had to use a die grinder and elongate the holes on the STB to make it fit...and its still a very tight fit...i really wasnt impressed with those brackets @ all... :?

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.

Werd, on my friends '93 CS we had to make one the holes bigger.

I think every new member should go through very serious and intensive training of pushing the left mouse button, or commonly known as "clicking" on the button that says search on the top right hand corner of the computer screen.
