BMR Chassis bar vs wonder bar
I am planning on ordering one of these two bars and I was wondering which one is better. It would be about the same price for the BMR bar because I am ordering a few things from thunder racing and I wont have to pay as much additional shipping. So they'll both be ~$60. I am not using the car for any type of racing or anything, I just want to improve the suspension a little bit for street driving.
btw: do I need to drll for this?

You won't be disapointed, TDS's quick with delivery, the bar is well made and extremely easy to install. First upgrade I ever did to my car, actually did that before changing cap/rotor/wires/plugs

IIRC, the BMR piece is not a version of the wonderbar, but installs somewhere near the transmission. Do a

I think for $46 the middle piece (steering box support) is a good buy and very well made. I ran it on my 3rd gen race car and '91 Formula.

I had the BMR one and it required me to elongate one of the bolt holes. any 3 holes lined up perfectly but the 4th one would not.
TDS one bolted up in a couple of minutes as well as the stock GM one.
I am currently running the GM one as the TDS one was put on my friends 82 and the BMR was sold with my 86 Trans Am.

I was thinking the the BMR "chassis brace" and the wonderbar were two different parts altogether. Humm. I'm currently running the Global West version as well as their SFC's. Recommended.

The only other "chassis brace" I know of is only made by Kenny Brown Performance. That is the one that goes near the transmission tunnel.
