you can get subframe connectors on Spohn and relocator brackets will move the rear mounting point for the lower control arms making them more effective. If you're getting them, be sure to get some new lower control arms as well.

Yea, it's worth it to get the relocation brackets, more so if you plan on throwing some real power at it.

Also if its a T-top car, one of the best stiffening modefications would be subframe conectors. I went with Spohn Tubular Weld Ins from www.fbodymotorsports.com they were on sale when I got them.

Yeah either way it will help, the hardtops can still get a little droopy, but not so much as their roofless counterparts. I like Spohn's 4 bar design, that is the kind I will be getting once I fix my floor.

I got mine off ebay for like 85 dollars last year. They are a non brand name but the look exactly like the BMR weld-in connectors.
I still have yet to get Relo brackets, dunno if i want bolt or weld-in's.

They are worth it, go tubular if u need ground clearance and rectangular for more rigidity. get weld ins, bolt ins eventually oval out the holes and become useless. also the relocation brackets put a lowered car back into correct suspension geometry for the lcas, without them u will get wheel hop and ****** traction.

I almost bought a set of weld-in's, but then had a bad thought. Since my rear is almost shot and will be replacing it really soon with a 12-bolt or a 9" then id be screwed. I will be making my own bolt ins once i get a rear.

I was always under the impression that the tubular suspension peices are the strongest.
Infact i remember a discussion about it during the first firkin tavern meet and it was said that a circle is the strongest shape available over a box..stronger would be a triangle but they dont make anything like that
