Best FSTB
Comments? I wanted to make a solid front bar.

If you make a triangular one for us that connects the strut towers and then from the strut towers to the firewall, you will sell plenty of them.

i dont see that as a problem ...Ill have to look at my wall to see if there are factory mounting locations so we dont have to hack anything up.

There really isn't. There is a flat spot in the middle that would be perfect, but it is so thin right there that you will need a back plate behind the dash to bolt it to, otherwise it will be all flex right there.

What about going the other way like how my lumina has these factory bars, obviously we would attach it to the strut plate and then to the body.

We have good FSTB's and good RSTB's, what we now is the side braces!

I don't have a picture on hand, but it hides under the fender. Anyone with more knowledge chime in?

I think the cusco is good but over rated. Having any stut bar with 2 peices being joined together will have some minor flexing. A good solid 1 peice strut bar would be bitching.

Also the radiator support on our cars are too weak to brace onto. GM's obviously are strong enough because they integrate the front motor mounts into them.

No kidding about that one, Thus the hood latch is bolted down to the frame...

I remember surfin the web and found this company that makes a FSTB for the 240's that ties the strut towers and firewall as jer 760 was talkin bout. I just can't remember the name of the company but i remember they were very very pricey!!$$
