STB vs. Wonderbar

Would I see the same improvement in handling from either one of these mod's. Or is one superior to the other. How much does a good STB go for? are they worth it or should I just stick with the wonderbar?

Thanks
Jason

Both help to stiffen the chassis, but in different areas. The wonder bar will help keep the lower end from flexing and possibly having the steering box pull from the frame. The STB will help the car hold its alignment settings during heavy cornering. You will benefit the most from buying both.

I agree, both serve a different purpose. For the most improvement get Both. Or if you only can get one of them buy the STB first.

My Edelbrock STB improved handling 100% (and that's on a hard-top!). I have a Global West Wonder bar, probably improved handling by a further 20%! Now I can actually DRIVE the car.
