Default Wanting to buy a STB

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.

The Hotchkis stb is top quality but does it work any better then a BMR at more then half the price, I'd just go with the BMR stb.

The nice thing with the Hotchkis is that it is easy to remove when you go to work on the car.

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.
