You don't have one? You're supposed to, and it'* terrible for your alignment not to have one. You can get a strut tower brace anywhere at a junkyard from any Bonneville, LeSabre, Park Avenue, Olds 88, 98, and possibly one more such car that I've missed.

I don't think we are talking about the same thing, I have only seen a handful of bonnies with this equipped

Yes, do you mean the rear struts? The one from ZZP is meant for W-bodies like the Grand Prix, Regal, Impala, etc. Bonnevilles are H-bodies and use different-length bars.. If you have a Bonneville from before 92, you probably don't have a strut bar. Here are some pictures.

I think the suspension may have changed, but it'* not likely. I just suggested the 96-99 because I assumed the electronics changed concerning ABS & such.

I'd just like to reinforce the fact that lowered spring are not something you want to mess with unless you have a good amount of money ready. Not only will you need the springs themselves, but you'll need shocks to go along with them that can compensate for the additional rebound, possible anti-pogo washers like the GP'* need, and depending on the kind of struts your car has, you may need camber plates as your suspension geometry will change and your wheels will have undesirable camber angle when the spring is compressed, such as when taking hard turns.
