Sub frame connector recommendation?
 
I've got a 92 limited edition convertible and would like to prevent any drooping in the frame. It's still in good shape at 65k, but I'm beginning to add some power to it and don't want to twist anything. Additional structural rigidity, better weight transfer, etc is also what I'm looking for. Any suggestions on sub frame connectors, bolt on vs. welded? Thanks.

Definately welded. Full-Length subframe connectors like the type I have do a great job. BUT, they cost more money and the installation process is more involved. I don't have a welder (yet), so I had a shop install them. It took the guys in the shop 3 hours with two guys working on it. I was lucky to only pay $150 in labor. That muffler shop I took them too usually charges $75 to weld in "regular" subframe connectors.

You may not want the added hasle and cost of full-length, but you should at least get "regular" subframes and have them welded in.

I've got an 89 gt convert, and I installed (welded) sub frame connectors.the connectors made the car feel more ridged.they will make the ride as tight feeling as a hard top.That's just my opinion.I didn't like the amount of body flex my convertable gave the feel of.But I also installed a strut tower brace at the same time so, it could be a combination of the two working together.Well worth the effort.

sub-frames...
 
I recommend not only the weld-on full length subs, but I recommend the heavy guage tubular ones. NOT the square off connectors.
