gingerkid?

 

:lol: I remember that episode. Good times, good times....

 

Ok, so I know that the best idea for the STB would get to get one from a yard, but I always thought that the ones for the 2nd Gens would bolt in with some minor modification?

I had the buick F bar with the zzp no drill brackets and it suked.

 

Try and fine a 3.4 DOHC Convertible STB because not only do they look the best but it made my car feel like a rock.

I just ordered my brackets from ZZP and I'll get the F-bar coming sometime soon.

 

It's all part of my "better handling initiative"

Addco rear sway bar

Aweb rear STB

Front STB are all on their way

i sold my vert bar and put the buick bar in. if for nothing else it looks a hell of a lot better i think

 

How does the Buick stb work? I'm assuming the Regals have it? What did you need to do to get it to work? I only thought cutty verts would work. :confused?:

If this does work, I hope its less rare than the cutty's stb.

you can get the F-bar from GMPartsdirect.com

 

They came stock on some buicks.....but they also work on w's too.

 

Oh cool. But what buicks had them? I might go look at my wreckers. And if anyone has pics of it, that would be awesome!!!

 

OK, I did some research and found these 2 numbers: GM PART # 12498648 & GM PART # 12456148. Do I need both of these or just one?

i dunno what that 2 bar thing is all about....you only need 1. as far as finding one on a wreck its prob easier for you to just order it. its cheap and will be in perfect condition heres what it looks like in mine:

That looks really nice. So if I got the bar from there, I would need the brackets?

 

look on 99+ Regal GS's for the STB. You cal also look on 00+ Impala's with the police package.

 

Thank you!

I think more of the Impalas got them than just the police package cars, maybe all of the 3.8 cars got them? I know I've seen them on Impalas, but have never knowingly worked on a police package car.

 

If you do decide to get a salvage yard one, keep in mind when you are at the check out counter than a BRAND NEW bar is only $20 some bucks, don't get ripped off.
