I'm trying to decide what Subframe Connectors I should get for my 02 WS6 'vert. Weight doesn't matter, I want the beefiest ones possible, I like the "double diamond" style. Weld on.

Which ones would you guys recommend?

I think your choice is either the KB or SLP no?

I have the SLP bolt ons, that were bolted and then welded, they work great!

Hey Jaxondes , let me know if you're going ahead with this as I'm considering SFC's for my Hawk as well. Perhaps we can get a deal.

Convertibles have limited choices - Kenny Brown and BMR make convertible specific subframes and I think Global West carries them too. SLP does not make them for 'verts, at least not that I know of.

I went for the KB's because they seemed strongest. They were welded in which some people don't like, but I can't imagine ever taking them out and they look like a part of the undercarriage - and they really tighten up the car. I have heard great things from everyone who puts on SFC's so no matter what brand you go with I am sure you will be happy.

Whoever said you couldn't run away from your problems obviously wasn't driving an SS.

Sure Bob we'll see what kind of deals I can find.

Where would be the best place to buy the KB's? Anyplace in Canada?

Steve convertd the KBDD's from weld in to bolt on for our SS. I think there was a post w/in the past month in the convertible forum about it. A search should bring it up.

Steve Spohn of Spohn Performance is going to be making SFC for 4th gen convertables soon. They will be tubular and weld on. See pictures of them on my SS.
