wonderbar front end stabilizer steering brace
Hello, anyone have any feedback on the quality and fit of this one - https://www.classicindustries.com/product/105021y.html
I like the three point mount, but there doesn't seem to be a brand name associated with it.
The UMI model is the other option https://www.summitracing.com/parts/upi-2030-b?rrec=true
Or is there another recommendation anyone has?
Thanks!

Re: wonderbar front end stabilizer steering brace
I added one to my car and I noticed a difference. IMO the one Lon sells at top down solutions is the best deal at $55 and it is a quality piece for sure. He does not sell junk on his site and is a great guy to deal with (he actually answers the phone and has great service). I bought the headlight motor rebuild kit and hatch pull down rebuild kit and all were excellent quality.
BTW UMI is great too, I have their SFCs and will likely go with them for LCAs and Panhard bar but the price and quality at TDS for the wonder bar is tough to beat.

Is Global West not making them anymore? I got mine from them about 18 years ago...

Re: wonderbar front end stabilizer steering brace
thanks for the tip. It appears that the one at Classic Industries is the same one as TDS.
