I want to know what's the best 2 or 3 point strut tower brace on the market. Is a 2 point STB better than a 3 point STB? Who sells them for the cheapest price? It's going on a '99 Trans Am WS-6.

I don't know as I'd say the Hotchkiss is "easy",
but it's better than having to drop shocks. My
install was very tight, I had to undo all but
one tower bolt to get the cross bolts in and
then tighten down strategically to get it to
pull in. But that's a nice, tight bar fit now.
It did tighten up the convertible in the corners,
no woggle-woggle in the front when you make a
tight abrupt one.
Trans dipstick tube buzzes it, I put some black
friction tape on there which is pretty invisible
against a black, black, black engine compartment
theme.
I just liked the looks of the Hotchkiss and
waited until a used one came up for the right
price. Stuff like this never wears out, so
the only reason to buy new is the gloss and
the instant gratification itch.
