The bars are still on backorder.. I was told they will have some soon..

I have 20 sets on order but the dealer only got 8 sets SAT for me.. Still waiting on 12..Theres going to be a wait on these..You will get them.. Its not let me know..

You have Dons brackets? I will give you a tip.. Add duck tape to the bottom side of the brackets before installing them..Same with the bar.. ;-) ;-)


REASON: ALUMINUM & METAL dont like each other..

Good tip FLIP! At first I was unsure of why but I did a little reading and I understand the logic behind it now.

Here's a good read for anyone interested in the why (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion)

Once I unbolt the bracket from my car frame for new strut. It was pop out fast. I guess they hate each other and pop out so fast like finally I'm free!!! :lol:

I need to check it out for duck tape.

I have no idea about STB is backorder but I have seen some of them on Regal & Monte Carlo on junk yard. Sometimes, it is rusty during Ohio winter season. I don't think you want that.

I'm going to have to be a rare dissenter here. I recently installed the STBs on an '04 GT, and I can't honestly say that I've noticed any significant difference in handling. Maybe they'll be noticeable when the car is pushed to the limits, but under even moderately spirited cornering, I'm just not seeing it.

That being said, Don's brackets made the job too easy. If I were going to put the STBs on again, I would definitely get his brackets.
