I always get mixed news about a 3 point.

People say that the cowl is so flimsy that it is pointless but then they turn around and say that 3 points will crack a windshield.

If the cowl is truely so flimsy why doesn't the windshield without the STB? If the front end is so tight as people suggest and it doesn't need such a bar how can this happen?

If the cowl is so paper thin then structurely, a STB should make is stronger.

The STB should be re-enforcing the cowl if this is true. So I will tell you right now to think twice about any proceding posts.

I actually have an 3-point stb that I have just sitting around. I bought it from year one about a year ago and then had some engine trouble, took it off, and never bothered to put it back on. Its black powdercoat. PM me if interested. I have some pics somewhere, ill see if i can find them.

Here is my cardomain site that is kinda old but there are some pictures on it. Not sure how much i would be interested in selling it for. To be honest, it is at my families house, and i am away at school, so it might be a couple of weeks. I could just tell my dad to send it out.

why do you want a 3 point STB? the 2 point works well, if you want better handeling and less body roll, get a set of front and rear sway bars, and an eibach pro kit with an adjustable panhard rod. It works wonders.

and all that will cost $$$, im hoping to get the pro kit and i have a front sway bar that im going to put on, but that is the point of a tech forum is to ask questions about something right? I was thinking about getting one and i was wondering what is out there for the lt1.

Pro-kit is overrated. Lots of people who have them are dissappointed or swith later. Get a set of Strano springs, they are the new craze and a suspension genius designed them.
