Got and put my JAMEX STB on yesterday.

I got my STB yesterday and Icouldn't wait to put it on! To be honestwith everyone, for $20.00, this was an awesome deal and a I got great results.!

The bars is oval shaped with a crease on each end for looks, yes it is hollow, I checked, but it is not frail let me tell ya

When I puuled it out of the box it was dirty and the chrome was faded, also had a small scratch on the side. but thats nothing Magic blue can't handle! I polished that sucker up to a mirror finish in no time and the scratch was almost invisible. As soon as I put it on and got off my friends driveway, the front felt stiffer, Now when I take turns at high speeds my car doesn't even lean, its like I'm not even turning!!

Here is a pic, I still have ot spray paint the bases black, but I wanted it on lol.

ok fine, it's polished aluminum, I didn't say it was made out of chrome, or anyhting else did I? I said the chrome wasn't polished because thats what it reminds me of, chrome.

If you take off the end screws from each side, you can see light coming from the other side, therefore, it's hollow.

no, I dont think any Camaros came with sub frame connectors, I know Pontiacs came with them when you got a GTA or something of the sort.

Well, I guess the FLOOR could be considered a subframe connector...

Looks good man,
Glad to hear the good results from putting it on.... Not too shabby of a deal...

About the subframe connectors...
Just FYI, To my knowledge the only f-body's that ever could be bought with SFC's (subframe connectors) were the ASC and Choo-choo Customs Convertables ...

The GTA's, TA's and Formula's got the WS-6 suspension package.... which was thicker sway bars (depending on the stage... II or III), and other suspension stuff... no STB's or SFC's.....

Thanks for correcting me, unlike some dorks that just want to make a fool out of me.


I knew they got a better suspension package, but I didnt know what lol.
