Best 3 or 4pt STB? I currently have a 2pt BMR CM STB, but want to upgrade to a 3 or 4pt design since I'm on a quest to eliminate, or at least minimize, all flex in my wet-noodle ragtop.
What are the best choices?
I'm considering:

and the 4pt on this page:

The KB one "appears" to be of good design given that it's a triangle. Anyone have one?
Opinions? Any others I should be looking at?

Re: Best 3 or 4pt STB? All good choices. Take a look at Edelbrock. it is a rather stout piece (basically a triangle, with 2 bars running across the car). It looks like a pain to work on the car with, but it should be stiff. Just thought I'd mention that one to you to add to your list. Good luck

Re: Best 3 or 4pt STB? When you are ready to get rid of the 2 point, let me know. Maybe we can arrange something, I have the LG 3 point.
Do you have a pic of yours?

Re: Best 3 or 4pt STB? I have the Hotchkis. I like it because it doesn't look like every other STB out there, and it performs! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Best 3 or 4pt STB? I have the BMR crome moly STB. I have seen very bad things with the 3 points, crack windshild, noises, and the bolt coming undone. Go with a 2 point and save your money for better stuff IMO!
Re: Best 3 or 4pt STB? I had the LG 4 pt on my 94 Z28 and loved it. Never had a problem.
