These are what I put on my GP. Seemed to help a lot. Of course my old stock front sway bar cracked at the eyelet for the links. Of course I have noticed a squeak coming from the drivers rear now in this really cold spell we are having. Will look at it when it gets warmer.

Those look exactly like the GMPP version, but more expensive.

Hey, Ace, expect a call here soon. Most likely in the next couple of days.

lol. You must have done a lot of shopping around. Do they clean the house when they aren't making your car handle better?

I think what I'm going to do is wait until I get my W-2 at the end of the month, and figure out how much I get back in taxes. Then, when I get that money, spend it all on car parts. crazy I can probably get the GMPP kit and a new DP...

Rick, the exception to that would be if you were to sell me the STB. It might have to wait until my next paycheck, MAYBE, but other than that, I'd got ahead and take if off your hands and just keep it until everything else got here.

Ya they were expensive. I went with the thickest ones I could find. They are 1/8 inch larger in the rear and 3/16 inch approximately larger in the front compared the gmpp ones. No not really worth the extra money, but I wanted them. smile

So, I just spent the better part of an hour and fifteen minutes looking for JUST the fwd STB. Cant find it. IIRC I paid 150 USD for the GMPP kit. That came with 2 sways, an STB, and 2 trailing arms. I WANT 50 USD for the fwd STB by itself, but that would be ridiculous. Lets say 20 bucks, and you handle the fuel it takes for me to get down there?

Make an offer.

The rear trailing arms help handling quite a bit these can be bought seperately,as far as the sway bars you can save your money the factory sway bars will do if you replace the end links and mid way bushing with poly .Chico(pops)

Where the stb connects to the bracket via the two bolt heads you see, where are the nuts on the other side to hold it on? It lies flat on that strut tower area
I have one so there is mine.



It is pretty easy to install. If I have drill skill then I probably would do that but I have zero skill for that. I hate to mess it up myself so I just get bracket to save my mistake. wink

the part number for just the sway bar is listed on the page with the GMPP package, not hard to find at all....

I like them, but for the price, I'm going to bust out the drill and do some labor. I know some guys swing off the nuts of Don Rome, but they are just too expensive. I guess if you are going to make an all out show car you might do it? confused

It was little cheap last year which I got it. This year, he increase the price little bit. Like I say I don't have drill skill so this bracket work for me.

I thought you said rear STB? I'm confused. lol But that sounds like a reasonable price to me.

And guys, what I've decided to do is (with the exception of what I get from Rick) I'm going to wait on buying anything until I get my tax return. Then, I'll blow that whole load on car parts. Handling kit, DP, etc. lol Can't wait!
