GrandAmSE Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 Where can I get a Strut tower brace for a 92 Grand prix? Quote
Psych0matt Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 a cutlass convertible, check your junkyards. i think that's the only stock stb there is, but i think you can get a bar and some brackets seperately, too Quote
Q-Ball Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 Good luck. Those are a super hot item. I've been looking for over 6 months for a cutty vert. Quote
1990lumina Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 Doesn't Adam make those?? Or is it only the rear STB?? Quote
Psych0matt Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 I only make a rear STB.... THAT I CANT USE, DAMN YOU! X-D Quote
AWeb80 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 I only make a rear STB.... THAT I CANT USE, DAMN YOU! X-D cause ur car is the red headed step child.....aka Gingerkid Quote
97loudcut Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 gingerkid? oh god http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_Kids Quote
runt Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 gingerkid? 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? Quote
97loudcut Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 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. Quote
pwmin Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 i just got a buick bar and welded it to the strut tower plates. works fine. Quote
Euro Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 I had the buick F bar with the zzp no drill brackets and it suked. what didn't you like about it? but yeah +1 for the cutlass STB Quote
AWeb80 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 I had the buick F bar with the zzp no drill brackets and it suked. what didn't you like about it? but yeah +1 for the cutlass STB I have no idea what he is talking about.....but i liked my F-bar.....I just now have a Cutty vert bar because i got it for $5 and was able to PC it white.....woot.

Bossman429 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 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 Quote
intern8tion9l Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 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 Quote
Q-Ball Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 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. If this does work, I hope its less rare than the cutty's stb. Quote
AWeb80 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 you can get the F-bar from GMPartsdirect.com They came stock on some buicks.....but they also work on w's too. Quote

intern8tion9l Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 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: i also have the zzp brackets, you can read about the mixed reviews on these.... Quote
99RegalGS Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 look on 99+ Regal GS's for the STB. You cal also look on 00+ Impala's with the police package. Quote

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! Quote
Bossman429 Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 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. Quote
