Do the Verts have stock Subframe Connectors for 2003?

[390PLUS]

Can any of you vert owners answer this for me? Thanks.

I think all verts came with subframe connectors.

Yes they did.Still should get some aftermarket FLSFC though.

yes they did, but they are made from tin, real chinsey. Definately replace them.

 

[FromGTtoSVT]

yes they do

however the ones that come from the factory are complete shit...they are bolt on and don't really provide much support

get a set of after market ones that are welded in and you will notice a big difference

As everyone has said, yes they do, but they aren't the best. I will tell you though that they do help some. Had a buddy's coupe cobra on a jack and tried to open the door and it wouldn't. Never had that issue with mine, but I still put in the global west subframe connectors with the jacking rails and you can tell the difference.

I noticed the same thing... bought mine used so I assumed someone had put them on. Mine appear to be weld-in pieces, not bolted.

My 03 didnt have them. But I bought it used so someone may have taken them off at some point.

Wow. It's been so long since I had my subframe connectors welded on I forgot about those stock toothpicks. The vert also has a front K member that the coupe's don't.

I put in full subs welded in along with a roll bar. Car is tight now even with the stock springs.

stock one's are very weak/thin. But I did not notice any difference when I installed/welded up some FLSC.

Those are not subframes, they are rubber bands.

you are actually the first person that I've ever read of that says the FLSC didn't make a difference after install.:??: What ones did you use?

huh? the kmembers are the same in the couple and vert. the difference is that the vert has an extra 4 point support connected to the Kmember that the coupe doesn't. the kmember is the same.

the coupe actually has a 2 point(straight bar) support

Me too,everyone rants and raves what a difference it makes,especially on a vert!

Intresting, I never new that.
so there are a few subtle diffrences between the two, beside the obvious
