J Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 u can get them at the dealer for like $20 i think. I got mine for about that price from a memeber of this board. Yes you are corect in the name also STB= strut tower bar Quote
97loudcut Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Posted February 20, 2006 what dealer cuz I also need about 10 of those little plastic pieces that hold your coolant resovior and your windshield wiper fluid on... Quote
ExZion Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 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 Quote

3pt1lumina Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 I called a dealer already and there is no such item still available for the front STB's for Cutlasses.... not around here anyways? Quote

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. Quote
mihela816 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 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 . Quote

GutlessSupreme Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 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. Quote

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

Euro Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 ok so where the hell did RSM's STB's go???? none of them are listed for ANY w-body anymore......neither are their lowering springs, etc wtf mate? Quote

Euro Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 thats ghey...they woulda had at least 1 more buyer here Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 Believe me, the RSM STB's are nice, but I dont think their 100 bucks a pop nice. Try giving them a call and see what they can do. Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 Yea, if you really want them, I'm sure they have some overstock laying around. Send them an e-mail. Quote
