Do the STBs for the v8's fit the v6's also? Or are there clearance issues?

Re: STB for v6
i think some of the v8 ones might have a issue fitting (alternator possibly?), i think mine said it would fit v6 and everything but certain years of the SS. it's been a while so don't quote me on that haha.
any particular one you're looking at? I got mine from lmperformance.com for pretty cheap and slapped it on.Last edited by BallerMaro13; 12-07-2009, 08:27 PM.pacesetters|full 3" borla exhaust|3" stainless e-cutout|slp cai & ram intake|c/f whisper lid|tbs|eibach|kyb|stb|sfc's|adj.lca's & phb|slp fan|b&m t5|180*|z06 17x9.5|8000k hids|hptuners|d/s rotors

Re: STB for v6
You want the one for the SS (LT1) and V6 engines. If you get the LS1 or LT1 bars, they will not clear the intake manifold/TB assembly.- Josh<br />If you have any questions or need installation pics/help, e-mail me: Viper98885@aol.com<br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/viper98885\" target=\"_blank\">\'93 Camaro Hardtop</a><br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/01lincolnls8\" target=\"_blank\">\'01 Lincoln LS8 Sport</a><br />\'00 Yamaha YZF-R6<br /><a href=\"http://www.ftpp.net\" target=\"_blank\">Full Throttle Performance</a>Comment

Re: STB for v6
hotchkis bar fits v8 and v6, looks the best too IMO....but very pricey.
I happened to find one on tech for dirt cheap because they guy botched a paint job. Maybe keep an eye out there.Comment

Re: STB for v6
The Hotchkis bar is a 3-piece bar. You'd be better off with a 1-piece. How much are you wanting to spend? I have my LG Motorsports one for sale in the FS Section for $50 + shipping. It is a 1-piece, 3-point brace. I really liked it and could tell a big difference when installed.- Josh<br />If you have any questions or need installation pics/help, e-mail me: Viper98885@aol.com<br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/viper98885\" target=\"_blank\">\'93 Camaro Hardtop</a><br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/01lincolnls8\" target=\"_blank\">\'01 Lincoln LS8 Sport</a><br />\'00 Yamaha YZF-R6<br /><a href=\"http://www.ftpp.net\" target=\"_blank\">Full Throttle Performance</a>Comment

Re: STB for v6
is there any modification needed for that 3 point. Dont really want to pay more than 50 but i guess thats what is going to end up happening.Comment

Re: STB for v6
The only thing needed for the 3-point is that you drill 2 holes in the metal on the upper cowl. That is where the third point is. It is not tough to install. If you really didn't want to drill your cowl, I don't suppose you'd have to.- Josh<br />If you have any questions or need installation pics/help, e-mail me: Viper98885@aol.com<br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/viper98885\" target=\"_blank\">\'93 Camaro Hardtop</a><br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/01lincolnls8\" target=\"_blank\">\'01 Lincoln LS8 Sport</a><br />\'00 Yamaha YZF-R6<br /><a href=\"http://www.ftpp.net\" target=\"_blank\">Full Throttle Performance</a>Comment

Re: STB for v6
Sorry, but the Hotchkis strut tower brace p/n 2006 is the only STB that is correctly designed. The ends need to pivot.Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com/CamaroV6.com
