Stb

This brace has another point (I think). Has anyone tried this vs the two point ones? I had one on my last SS and I did notice a difference and would like to put one on my new car. Just not sure if its worth it to get this one over a 2 point.
Thanks for any insite.

A friend and fellow competitor has one. to be honest we never drilled and connected the rear part of the bar. Also it was a pain in the butt to take out and put back when we changed shocks on his car. I'm not knocking it it is well made and looks to be decent I just don't think the improvement will be worth the hassle of the installation. In my previous and current car I have had a 2 point installed. I also like the ease installation and un-installation you have to do anything like spark plugs, valve train related upgrade or inspections, shock upgrades, etc.

One thing is guaranteed, a bigger front swaybar will probably accomplish whatever people expect the front STB to do and it ACTUALLY has an effect that you can feel on handling.

I got my STB for looks! Can't say it really made a difference since I had all the other suspension parts in my sig and I did the STB last. I did have an Edelbrock 3 point STB on my 90 Camaro and it made a big difference, but different car, different front suspension.

The edelbrock one was a PITA to remove/install. I have also heard that they can break the windshield. I sold mine and plan on getting a 2pt late on, might as well if i'm stiffening the rest of the car. Can hurt right?

GOOD POINT!!
I have a 3 point STB, got it from LG Motorsports a LONG time ago. I haven't broken a windshield yet, even here in western New York, "home of the pothole". It is, however a PITA to take out or put in, when you need to remove the intake for it's "every 3 year oil leak re-seal".
