If you buy the brackets, GM usually bunches the STBs together in one package, you'll be all set, and it shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes even if you have never done anything like this before.

Well worth the effort. Makes the car feel a bit more stable in a hard corner. Having an 03, i just had to add the back one. Don's brackets make life easy. I've had this upgrade since 08. With the gmpp handling kit, your pretty much set, but you can go further if you like.
The gmpp kit and this addition are very cost & performance effective. Add the heavy duty moog rear rear bar connectors and your set.

ya ordered both a while back, says my brackets will be in thursday! hopefully my stb comes in before then
I am planning on purchasing the GMPP handling upgrade kit, which comes with a front STB (12456148) and it says an additional STB may be purchased for the rear (12456148). Since it lists the same part number for the front and rear, it leads me to believe that it is interchangeable front and rear. Since I already have a front sway on my 01 from the facotry, I would like to know if I can use the one included with the kit on the rear of my car?
I noticed you listed a different part number (12498648) is this interchangeable with the one found in the gmpp kit? and will the gmpp kit's STB work with the kit from Don Rome?
Thanks!

Mine came with 2 and I don't know what I'm going to do with the other bar - already have a STB for the front of the 05 that I got from Ryan.
I found out that Don Rome is local - that's why it came so fast - the brackets came from Zion IL!
