Twenty Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Now that my fight to find and buy a roof rack is over, I can get back to other areas of the car. The chassis is the one area I haven't touched yet, and I want to start off light. I know that a RSTB is a very beneficial add-on for these cars, so I'm thinking it'll be first. A quick question though (Yes, I have used the search function), which is better; AWeb's, or Held's (Aweb, I presume your bars will fit GP sedans as well as the coupes)? What are everyone's opinions on them? At this point I'm leaning towards AWeb's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 i think the rear STB is a very good place to start. and I don;t think it takes much to do the job. I'd get whichever is cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twenty Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 i think the rear STB is a very good place to start. and I don;t think it takes much to do the job. I'd get whichever is cheaper. I'm not terribly concerned about price, to be honest. If one's a substantial amount more than the other I may turn away from it, but I'm more concerned about which performs better, if there's a noteworthy difference.

Crazy K Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I meant that from a performance standpoint, actually.... LOL which is to say either is strong enough to do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 i would go with Awebs because its far cheaper, he will respond quickly to you, and you'll receive it 10 times faster! BTW i believe he just makes the brackets now, and you have to source your own tubing. Which is easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 i would go with Awebs because its far cheaper, he will respond quickly to you, and you'll receive it 10 times faster! Last time I tried e-mailing Held I got a reply very quick. When I ordered my suspension my order was delivered very quick but at the same time, since then Held has changed hands (near as I can tell) Lee is no longer doing any of the business, now its some Eric guy and, from what I have been told, his communication SUCKS. BTW i believe he just makes the brackets now, and you have to source your own tubing. Which is easy. Last I checked he was only making the brackets, but he will tell you exactly what you need to get to make the bar to go between them, and really, its soooo simple. My vote is Aweb best bang for the buck Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtremerevolution Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Keep in mind I voted for Adam's RSTB even though I don't have the one he usually makes people since they don't fit on 1st gen w-body regal coupes. He did make me this one though, and its friggin awesome!!! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venom Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 AWEB hands down x2 I currently have 2 of his products (RSTB brackets and the door sills) and both are of the highest quality. Now if only he would start making the engine braces again................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
