wonder bar????
I have 15in tires on my 89 rs that I just put a good 700r4 in now the rims I found and bought for it are 16's do I have to have a wonder bar on it. I know it was on the Iroc's but what about the rs's 305tbi possibly 350 I haven't checked but I don't think this is the oem engine. (no racing or hard driving)

Re: wonder bar????
No car must have a wonderbar. My Formula didn't have it and it has the WS6 package even. I did add one and felt a noticeable difference right away. That being said a wonderbar will tie the front end together and help prevent stress cracking. For the cost and ease of install it's well worth it in my book.

Re: wonder bar????
thankx for the input, got another ? now my car came with the pull down motor now I don't care about the fancy pull down motor If I can get the much cheaper elect latch (no pull down) will it bolt up in the same place and work with key cylinder with no adjustment. or should I go back with OEM optioned pull down motor assembly. (ebay) $100 functional but as is. $249 rebuilt.
