Re: convertible sub frame connectors, any pics?
I have two sets on my 'vert and have been told it rides nicer than a hardtop car....
I've posted pics of them on here before, just search the forum with my username
definitely a must have for any 3rd gen, let alone a 'vert

I have the Alstons, and the SPohns
Both have their merits, but I do snag the Alstons on some steeper business entrances.

Re: convertible sub frame connectors, any pics?
I think 89 onwards you can only use Spohn and Alston because of the sheet metal box on the inside of the rocker panels.

I have Alstons, night and day difference, worth every penny.
Re: convertible sub frame connectors, any pics?
Looks nice with the Spohn & Alston connectors together!
Does anyone have a link on where to buy the Alstons?
Do both come unpainted?

Top Down Solutions is the only place off the top of my head
I think they come bare
the Spohns come bare or powder coated in red and/or black

Re: convertible sub frame connectors, any pics?
When I bought my Alstons they were painted black. I did have to trim down a little bit of the mounting area at the front of the passenger side sfc when I was installing my Spohn cross member for the T56, but it's not a lot. This wouldn't affect anyone who's not doing a T56 conversion though.



I do plan on getting a second set of SFC's like Spohn later, and I will be finishing my undercoating this winter also. I know it looks kind of tacky with only part of the car black under there.

Re: convertible sub frame connectors, any pics?
Oh and you can see in that last picture where I scrape on my passenger side sfc. My car is lowered.
Re: convertible sub frame connectors, any pics?
Our SFC's will work on the convertible models. A customer sent me pictures at one time with them installed on a convertible but I can't locate them.
I hope that helps,

Re: convertible sub frame connectors, any pics?
Ryan, do your sfcs fit the 89 models up where GM have added the sheet metal boxes along the sills? I know they fit the earlier models but not sure about the later ones. thanks.
