any suggestions for subframe connectors for 88 vert? I'm not racing or doing anything like that...just thinking about having them installed for avoid future issues with doors closing and such.

Is there different sfc for vert vs coupe/hatchback?
Thanks!

Maximum Motorsports are always nice. Though there are lots of good ones out there. Kenny Brown, Stifflers, etc.....

Putting them on a convertible is a little more work because of the bracing. Nothing overly challenging though.

Thanks...is there a unique sfc for vert or same for all? Is there a particular version that is bolt on without any welding?

The SFCs will be the same for any of our foxes. You just have to take an extra couple steps because of your additional bracing.

You can get bolt in SFCs, though I would really recommend you weld them in. The torsional forces, especially from a convertible body will allow some movement due to the clamping force of the bolts being insufficient. Still far better than none at all though.

Verts could use a shock tower brace too, stops the cowl/windshield area from shaking on bumpy surfaces.

When you install the sub frame connectors have the shop clean and weld the plates and channel that are riveted to the body. This will further increase the rigidity of the car.
