I got mine from RSM. Z Spec has the same type. I don't know if theirs fits the ecotec.

When I got mine from RSM, they had one bar for the V6 and one for the Ecotec. Z Spec has one bar listed so I'm not sure if it will fit both. Ask before you buy.

how well does the strut bar help the handling? Im really trying to do something with it. This stock crap isn't cutting it.

From what i can tell the car is staying flat in hard turns.

Yeah I got the same one as RocketFast321 and its the best $ I spent on the GA. Makes curves at high speeds feel more stable I find.

Damn Will, I wish mine was a Ebay bar. I paid $200 for front and rear NextLevel bars.

IIRC don't the GTs have largers sway bars than the SEs? Might want to upgarade to GT swaybars first. The Strut bars tight up the handling. I wouldn't really say it makes it handle better, just makes it tighter and more responsive.

strut bars are well worth it.

if you LOVE taking turns at higher speeds, they will help keep the car from flexing which causes the tires to squeal....

in a striaght line you really wont notice anything different, but the second you go to take a turn, you'll know they are there and you'll love em to death :)

GT's have bigger bars and one in the back that SE's don't.

hey rocket, that looks hella like my STB that i got from RSM back in spring of 03.

i put it in the car in the parking lot, drove out of the parking lot and noticed it being alot tighter right away. STB and my springs/ struts are a helluva combo. even with all-season 14's on the car it still handles nicely.
