Strut tower brace
Is a 3 point stb much better than one that isnt? I want to spend around 100$ what would be a good brand to choose. I dont know too much about suspension/chassis stuff...

3 point are much better. But BMR or UTI I think is another company. 3 points are about 250 or better.

Forgot to add that my BMR STB is a 2 point. Someone (can't remember who) once told me that the 3 point STB's for our cars are unnecessary because the 3rd point of connection goes under the cowl which offers no support.

don't know of a manufacturer that makes one for the rear. besides, the rear shocks bolt just behind the rear seat. not really a stress area. usually cars that you can buy a rear STB for is an import. i've seen plenty of those available.

They say there is no reason to use a 3 point on a ls1 f-body, since they mount to the thin peice of metal above the engine (kinda the base to the windshield), and it is not strong enoung to really do anything. I would go with a two point.
