ss427 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 This is the bar that was on the 91 GP I recently bought, but it doesn't look like the CS vert ones I've seen before. It's welded, and there is no clearance issue with the hood or clutch reservoir which is sweet. Also I noticed the strut covers have Koni stickers on them. Is it possible that the car has the old adjustable Koni cartridges in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpchris Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Idk but i like it. It clears all engines and looks stronger than any of them we have out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediabandit Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I have also seen the same style stb in another pic on this site at one point in time. i can't remember what car it was on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 If those are Konis under there, I will pay good money for them regardless of condition. but take off the cover, you should see a turn style adjuster on the top of the cart if they are.

ss427 Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Thanks all for the info. The welds look factory rather than homemade. Perhaps an aftermarket company made bars sometime back in the 90s? Chris I will pop the cap off and get a picture of the top..not sure what to look for if adjustable as I haven't done front struts on a W before.

BXX Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 looks like bobs Ugh, my old one. And yes, I really really really want that FSTB!! I have a nice square Vert bar, maybe we can do a swap plus a little bit of cash??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91LuminaEuro Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Man! Thats one heck of a good score!! From what i've heard and read those shocks are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Seriously, how attatched are you to the FSTB right now??? Im running O.E.M. coilover camber plates and I cant use the stock very FSTB since it covers up my mount. I need a 2 bolt like that. I had one on my old CS but traded cars with my buddy Rob, and I dont think he wants to get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Wow!! I haven't seen a set of those struts in ages!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss427 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Thanks for the interest, but I think I want to hang onto the bar for now.. possibly see about having more made off it at some point. It's a pretty simple design. So if you guys have seen this same bar before, do you think that would mean an aftermarket company made these back when these cars were new? I'm interested in learning more about aftermarket stuff that was available for early W's..kinda neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Yeah, my and my buddy Rob have talked about replicating a few bars but havent put anything into motion yet. Too many other projects currenty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfewtrail Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I believe I've seen that style STB before on a w-body as well. Is that car lowered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
