This is the only one that came up from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMR-S...spagenameZWDVW

Choices:

1.Wait 7 days and MAYBE it wont get any bids on it, shipping is $15 + $75 = $90 and wait 2 1/2 weeks for it.

Or

2."Buy Now" for $100 + $15 shipping = $115, you'll get it in a week at best

Or

3. Order it from LM like I suggested for $100 and pay no shipping, have in about a week

It's not the way they attach. The V6's TB's are further back since the engine's smaller and the normal V8 strut tower braces will get that and not be able to attach. That's why the V6 braces bend backwards.

Nope, wont fit. As previously stated, v6's need specific STB's which are different from LT1's/LS1's.

Hmmm, I have never noticed this before. I learned something new today!

You could get that one, and you get a tunnel brace as well.. If you dont want the tunnel brace, Ill buy it off you.

I usually see them on ebay... Must not be the right time of year or somthing haha.

I suggested the triangulated one earlier-

Like I said before- if you want to get a one that you will be able to feel more of a difference with, get one that actually puts a little preload on your towers- you can feel more difference with those than just a typical drop in one.
