GutlessSupreme Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 A good deal of seconds gens had them I believe. But the only first gens were Cutlass verts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 i thought some regals had em? Late model Regals did have them John, I'm not sure if ALL years did or not though. I know the 2000 LS shop car/wrecked Regal we had at my school had the factory STB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john99gtp Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 technically, bonnes arent W's though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonick Posted July 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 would the late model regals/2nd gen w-body STB's work with my 1990 Grand Prix? I saw a bonnevile at the yard yesterday, it had an STB, but im pretty sure it wouldn't have fit the GP (i didnt bother taking it out and checking). The mounts on the bonne were more oval, whereas the GP is round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Yes, STB from a gen 2 W will work... they're just a bar and nothing else, so you can either pull out a power drill and drill holes into your strut tower plates, or get bolt-on adapters from ZZP for that factory look.

93GTP Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Where can one find a gen 2 bar? I wasn't familiar with the adapters from ZZP. So they work on a gen 1?

Order through your local dealer or http://www.gmpartsdirect.com I can't remember the website that had the ZZP plates... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOT2B GM Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 I have the ZZP brackets on my car with the 2nd gen GM bar and it fits great, even with the 3.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
