GM STB vs RSM STB

[pwmin]

yes, and as you can see its not worth it to just get one bar even if youre not going to use one of them. when i got mine there was only a $5 diff and now theres none!

Hmmm.. i am looking at GM performance Parts.. and they are saying that:

12498648 Strut Braces

For use on 1999 - 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo; 2000 - 2002 Chevrolet Impala; 1997 - 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix. These are production Buick strut tower braces designed to minimize body flex. The kit includes two strut tower braces, hardware, and installation instructions. The part number for one strut tower brace only is 12456148.


They don't list the other number.

Anyone know if i am correct that you need both numbers?

They don't list which other number? The number for the single bar is listed right the description; 12456148.

You don't need both numbers. 12456148 is for just for one front '97+ Buck f-bar, and 12498648, as far as I know, is for one front bar and one rear bar. (I don't know if they're the same?).

If you want brackets to bolt the F-bar onto your first gen, you're going to need these. Just make sure you specify the year. If you don't use those brackets for a first gen, you're going to have to drill your strut tower caps to bolt the bar down.
