Which STB
Im going to be doing alot of stuff to my suspension real soon and I was wondering which design you guys went with and if you had to do it again would you have bought the one you did or would you buy a different one. BTW whats up with Spohn? Why isnt he making STBs. I probably going to buy every thing else from there and was dissapointed when I couldnt find one on his website.

i have the edelbrock for TBI, if you have TPI , i like the Kenny Brown design.
if you are using your car for auto-x, and are tying to stay in ESP, or a class where 3point braces aren't allowed, then i would look at the hotchis.

I love my Edelbrock TBI stb. The welds were a bit sloppy and the powder coating has small particles in it but the overall front end of the car is as ridgid as can be. It really made a great improvement on the way the front end of the car reacts in a turn. Overall it is one of my better mods. The 3pt brace is the way to go if your set-up allows for it. Otherwise a 2 pt will yeild pretty much the same results. If I had to do it again I would have taken the edelbrock stb and cleaned it up and re-powder coated it for appearance reasons. Well, technically I still could do that. Hmm...
Any good quality STB will improve the handling of 3rd Gen cars. Its your choice 2 or 3 point, I have the 2-point Hotchkis and like the clean installation.

hotchiks is awesome, so isnt the bmr design. bmr makes a 3 point kit also so if you want to convert later you can.
