Default weld in subframe connectors

I know this has been discussed before but to those that have subframe connectors.

Is it as stiff as a coupe ? or even close.

I have a stock suspension ss and it's feeling
really rickety of late and would like to know
if sfcs are the magical answer.

Thanks,
I'm thinking weld ins for sure.

The first two modifications I would (and have) make to any convertible are weld in subframe connectors and a two or three point strut tower brace. Regardless of the performance advantages, it will keep your convertible from shaking itself apart and extend the life span considerably. Oh yes, it is a lot more fun to drive after you install those two.

Hello, our weld in convertible frame connectors are made from 1 5/8" dom steel with 1/4" mounting plates and they also tie into the lower control arm front mounting point. With the three 1/4" plates this adds extra strength and makes the car more rigid. The connectors are available in either red or black hammertone and are in stock and ready to ship. If you have any questions please give me a call.
