Whats a good place to find one, and whats a good brand to go with? Also, a question on brakes, wheres a good place to find calipers, pads and rotors, and whats a good brand. Last thing, would replacing the brake lines with braided steel hoses do any good?

 

i went with the edelbrock stb...works great to me
i even think it gave me 6.7 hp in 3rd gear...

Do you have TPI or TBI or carb? They make different ones for different set-ups. I love my Edelbrock TBI brace. It is a 3 point brace that ties in the firewall. However this will not clear a TPI system and you have to use a 2 point system. No big deal though.check out jegs and summit for some. Also click on thunderracings site above. They will have BMR ones as well as many others.

 

I have a 350 TPI. I was looking at Spohns website and I got a wealth of information there, but they didnt have the strut tower braces, I recently got my first summit and jegs catalogs, ill be sure to dig around in them, as well as checking out thunderracing. Thanks for the info!

 

I when with the BMR 3pt. STB. I really liked the way the car drives with it on. This is the only one I've tried so there might be a better one out there but the BMR still made a big improvement.

 

spohn sells the good ss brake lines, they are a worthy mod and still need to put them on; should help alot.

look in the kenny brown 3pt stb, or i think spohn is coming out with stb's soon also.

 

www.fbodymotorsports.com has a couple different ones.

 

As I recall, Sphon announced at one point that he was coming out with several STB's in the spring--to include one for a carbed car with dual snorkel. My hopes are up!

I made my own for $50 using another members design. I love it. As far as changing the way the car "feels" while driving, this is one of the best mods I've done. Can't believe I went for so long without it (ditto for performance struts).

the company is reloacting, i dont know if they are replying to emails right now or not.

 

I have a Kenny Brown STB. It works great. I would definately suggest it.

 

I just ordered the Edelbrock STB for the TBI for my carbed 82, my brother has the same one on his 86 sport coupe. cant wait too see a difference with the stb and wounder bar on

 

I have the Edelbrock STB for the TBI setup. My car has a Holley carb and Edelbrock Air Gap intake on it works great. I also put one of those braces on down under the front frame rails to them together to keep from cracking the frame around the steering box. Wow!! what a difference in the way the car handles. I have lowering sprins on the front along with Energy Suspension bushings all around. I say definately put the brace on these cars. I need to do a brake upgrade next. So much to do, so little cash...

 

Thanks for all the info, hopefully Ill be able to have them done soon.
