Post by ShaneLT(ShaneZ26) »

Just wondering where to get a strut to Rad brace I was just looking at styluss's motortopia page and saw them there.

Sweet ride by the way! I really like it a lot!

Kevin is right - it's a Wbody thing. Lumina, GP, Monte Carlo, etc.

Yes, every W-body platform car up to about 2002 i think had these bars.

Just to add to the list, this counts for 2 and 4-door cars:
88-97 Cutlass Supreme
88-04 Buick Regal
88-03 Grand Prix
90-01 Lumina
95-99 Monte Carlo
97-03 Buick Century

Those are the years of cars you want.

Not my car, but you get the idea of there location and what they look like.

Super simple mod. It's cosmetic more than anything, but I'm sure there is a little stability benefit. I like that the engine is framed by these bars and the strut bar. You can pull any set of these that you find in the yard and they will work. Depending on how you want the finished product to look, you may need to do some very slight modding to your radiator support. If you need help / pics, I got'em

We are referring to the outer long one's seen on the pic posted above right? And is there really a real benefit adding these?
