Fortify the frame from twist... how?

I am trying to decided weather I should go for the Iroc with T-Tops, the convertable, or the 1LE. I like the 1LE's options, but I like being able to take the roof off. Is it possible to make the frame strong enough so that I doesn't twist and screw up you seals for the roof? If so, how, and about how much torque can you have b4 you sould worry?

Any info would be a lot of help.

all third (and 4th) gen cars deserve subframe connectors, even the v6's. It will stiffen up the frame immensely

any t-top or vert car should have sub-frame connectors.if possible get the weld in type.the bolt in type of sub-frame connector are just as good as the weld in but the bolt in will elongate the bolt hole and render the S/C'S almost usless.if you do get the bolt in's have them welded in.
