Default Sub Frame Connectors

How can I stiffen up my 05 Vert? Looking for any advice I can find.

Thanks,

Verts already have subframe connectors from the factory...

You could put in an upper front shock tower brace. There are some made for the rear as well.

Wonder if they were removed, or the early run of that body style had them absent. Even Fox-Body verts had factory subframe connectors.

I had the car from new from the dealer. Or you talking about the braces under the car that run from the k member to the subframe?

Actually I did a little more research, as I'm not that well versed in the SN95 models. From what I found 94-98 didn't have them. They did them on the Fox-Body verts, and started again in '99. They skipped the 94-98 years from what I seem to be finding.

yup, the new edges had them and foxes had em, i believe only the sn95 cobra verts came with them? (not even 100% sure on that one)

I don't think the foxes had full length sub frames did they?

Do you mean the Fox couples/hatchbacks? The vert's have been stated already that they did have them.

I'm also considering upgrading to better full length subframes for my car. I'm not making crazy power, and my best 60 ft so far is a 1.85, but if it won't cost too much money to get new ones welded in, I'd like some better insurance against twisting the frame somehow.
