stlunatics2oo3 Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 yeah i was wonderin if you can get a front upper strut bars fr a 89 cutlass supreme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaD Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 Yes you can, they're called "Strut Tower Brace"s, You can usually find them on ebay, although they're a bit pricey. They're not hard to install, other than the fact that you'll have to drill 2 holes in each strut tower cover. You'll want this one: 1991-92 style, straight tube type brace. GM Part No. 10165774. I believe you're able to put one in the back too. Since you have a cutlass. However, I'm not sure if it's proprietary to Sedans or coupes? It should work for both, though Try http://www.gmpartsdirect.com , they usually have them for the lowest price. -MaD- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaD Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 Unless you can find a thicker one that will fit, this is the one you want. It's made for our cars, and it's paintable, so you can just paint it whatever color you want. -MaD- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaD Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 All the ones I've seen make you drill the two holes for the bolts, but, out of curiosity, where would you bolt it to if you didn't drill the holes? -MaD- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the use the existing nuts. It's a pretty nice looking unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbars Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 I just installed the front STB that you have to drill the plates to install. It was a piece of cake. On my 89 Cutlass Coupe I did have to remove the underhood trouble light to clear the bar though. I also made a custom rear STB out of 1.5inch exhuast pipe that I flattened the ends on and drilled holes to mount on the strut mounting bolts. I painted both bar yellow and they look pretty sweet.

Guest Anonymous Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 My STB should be here in a couple days. I got mine out of the for sale section from snake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 I have a spare one of the 97+ STB's too (the ones that you need to drill through the plates). I'm gonna see if I can find a way to get studs spot-welded to the plates, that would be a much cleaner install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbars Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 I just bought mine of ebay a couple weeks ago. It probably came from one of you guys... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
