Thread: What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Was talking to myself last night and am wondering if i put the STB brackets on upside down; they have a slight curve to them, and i put the curve on the upside.

That sounds like they are upside down. The curve probably follows the strut tower's curves.

When the STB was found on a car stock... (never a GP, Regals though ) They were simply drilled and bolted directly. I've always felt that putting another bracket in there added another point of flex and made the bar less effective (if it's actually effective at all)

I know Bill, that's what I did with my car. Put the bar down and center it, permanent mark the holes and drill away. I don't think I even cleaned off the marker when I was done. They helped a little, but probably the least out of all the suspension stuff I've done. That's fine though since I paid $5 a piece at the JY.

I'm fighting this right now. I swear I feel a difference, but I'm sure it is mental.

I hit a few windy/bumpy parts of the road on my way home last night, and she did feel tighter.

I may still remove the brackets and mount the bar "stock like".

The rear makes the biggest difference out of the 2. The ass end of these cars need all the help they can get

Ya, that's what I hear. I'm going to try and get out to a local pick-a-part yard soon to look for a rear. They also show two '04+ GP's, pics show grey interior. I see comfy '04+ seats in my future! LOL

You want your car to handle better...

Get the tubular and urethane bushing drag, toe link and lateral arms. Add an STB for total overkill like I did.

Lateral arms are all I have left to do, really. I'll upgrade to AGXs when the struts I have now go out, and I don't want coilovers.

holly crap, got my abs scanned, and i got not one or two codes, but 7 lol

If all else fails get me a part # and next time I'm out that way I can check the JY for u. There's always at least a few Regals there.

its a 97-98 part only. cause bastard years lol best to be from the same year with a matching part #. the one i listed says its from a 98, so it should be good to go.

Loaded up pretty well every tool I own into the damn thing. 3 tool boxes, 12" mitre saw, compressor with hose/nail gun, bucket of mud, trowels, shop vac, 4'/2' levels the list goes on.

Damn thing is sitting on its shocks! Need to invest in a truck
