The front STB and the rear STB are actually the same part. If you are getting different part numbers, one might be a kit that includes both.

Don Rome is an independent person active on some forums, his website is where you would buy his brackets, he also sells the bar I believe.

drcustomparts.com

 

thanks for the info no both of them are the same number but seen somewhere it was different.....can you tell me why i cant post anything and have to hijack each thread?????

part # 12456148 is for one STB. part # 12498648 is the same bar but two of them. Btw, you don't need any braces if you want to install the STB in the rear. Just enlarge on of the holes and you can use the existing strut bolts

 

ok ill checkout the rear one when i get it but i will have to move my ground for amp then if i enlarge hole..chibi did you notice a difference in rear sway bar being on and is it worth the mod??

 

If you have not purchased anything, it might be worth considering waiting for Black Friday as ZZP puts there STBs on sale. I have a pair to put on my Monte and I think it was cheaper then GM STBs with the Don Rome brackets.

Just a thought.

I found this online.12498648 Chevy Strut Tower Braces at GM Performance Motor & Parts It looks like it includes both for that price?
