too much body flex
 

Ok, here's the deal. I have a 94 gt conv. that has a lot of flex to the body. I have a friend with (I think) BBK subframes on his 95 gt conv. His car is really stiff and I want mine like that.

Money somewhat of an issue. I don't want to spend more than $100 on the parts; and I know it will cost me atleast an hour's worth of labor.

Couple of people have told me to go with Kenny Brown subframe connectors, but I don't think they make a conv. set.

Is there a difference between the hardtop connectors and conv. connectors?

Can someone recommend a good set of subframe connectors for my conv.?

There are so many different brands out there and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Also, after this I will be looking to do a lowering kit and C/C plates. Any recommendations on those? What kind of combo would complement the subframe connectors really well?

Thanks in advance guys.

I got mine from Steeda and they look exactly the same as my friends convertible. I had them welded at a local shop for like $15.00 and it made a huge difference! Good luck! http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

I have the kenny browns. they are excellent and i would recommend them. convert subframe connectors are the same as the rest.

Steeda claims that the round sub frame connectors flex much less than the square tubes do. Do your self a favor and get the ones that bolt to the seat post. If you dont do much drag racing I would say just bolt them on and later try and find the best price for getting them welded in. Good luck.

Thanks guys. So now that I hear about the ones that weld to the seat posts, where can I get them from? How much will they cost me?

I really want to save my body.

I don't do MUCH drag racing, but I do want my car to handle and stay stiff. Probably going to have them welded in when I get them.

Thanks again.

get round ones! thats pretty much the best piece of advice you can get on subframe connectors. look into a strut tower brace too a little over 100 bucks and you can do it yourself. i have both, plus the lower brace too. makes a biiiiig difference. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
PS when you DO get all this....dont get too cocky on corners......thats how i lost my 86..... http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif
