Strut tower brace sets?

Hey yall, interested in getting strut tower braces for my '88 RS.

-First Q: How many do I need, I know there are 2 correct? Front strut tower brace, trunk strut tower brace.. is there one for under the car??

-Second Q: Does any have a 'full set' tower brace package, or where shall I start checking?

Thanks guys!

There is no truck tower brace.

Only the strut tower brace & lower up front, the "Wonder Bar".

Stephen:

He said trunk (not truck) tower brace.

There have been a couple of people who have come up with a rear shock brace. But it's not really needed, won't do to much.

I have, and like, the Edelbrock 3 point strut tower brace, works great on TBI cars.

The brace under the car is commonly called the wonder bar.

I would suggest that you get subframe connectors (SFCs) 1st though. UMI, Spohn, Alston (from TDS), look at the ads on the right side of your screen. Of coarse Summit sells SFCs too.

Gimme a little credit here. I know what he meant.....I made a TYPO.

I provided links to braces, same as you. But, he was also asking about trunk tower braces, which is common on other cars. But there aren't any commercial ones made for 3rd gens.
