couple questions

I am looking for a strut tower brace and sub frame connectors for my car and am wondering who makes good ones for a reasonable price? I want a STB that will bolt right up and weld in SFC's. Car is in sig. thanks for advise.

there are several options.

there is the 3 point STB, that is made by edelbrock (i like the 3 point design personaly, but i know many people who really like the 2 points they have) and the 2 points are made by hotchis and bmr.

for SFC's i would either get spohn (when he starts making them again soon) or kenny brown.

but realisticly any STB or weld in SFC's will make a huge diffrence in your car

I have not done it myself, but I believe that you just have to drill holes and put bolts in.

i am 99% sure that none of the ones i listed need welding, i have the edelbrock (for TBI/carb) and i had to drill 6 holes, and that was it.

It is easy to install a panhard rod. The main thing needed is some strength because these bolts are rated at 93 ft lbs of torque and have usually been on there a long time. You just need to have the car up where you can get under in, then I would support the rear end so it is not as likely to move around on you and take out the two through bolts and bolt the other panhard rod to the right torque. I assume you actually mean panhard rod and not still the strut tower brace right?
