t-top body flexing

Im afraid if I build up my motor and rear end the body will flex too much because of my t-tops. would sub frame connectors help and what brand is best , while being a good price and having an design that dont interfere with the exhaust and trans.

I also have "T" tops,350 and a five speed and have Sophn's weld in sub frame connectors. I went with Sophn beacuse of the design was more solid than the cheaper one's. Summit and other places had cheaper on'es but the real reason I got them was to protect my investment so a little more for a better setup was worth it to me. They fit right in and look nice and don't interfear with anything. As far as do they do thier job, I spent maney hours under the car and putting it up on jack stands, before the connectors the car would kind of sag in the middle and now it hits firm and the heavy front end sagges and the center is solid.

Iroc wonder bars helped my car with the flexing problems and I'm getting a set of BMR SFCs welded in tomorrow on the '84 and '97.

you might want to check out mac sfc's.........they aren't made by mac, which is a good thing! and they leave plenty of room.

thanks for the 411, I was afraid of not haveing the room to work under my car because I was going to use the weld in type. I figured by taking the option of bolts out of the equation which would be the weeker link because welds if done right are would be stronger, and should hold better. besides i have to come up with some setup because of the t-tops and the fact that i have major wheel hop with the 2.73 posi.
