Yup I was under a stock GT vert a few days ago and they have some pretty bulky subframe connectors. This is why the rear sways are bent differently.

It's an easy install/uninstall, and I was able to do a before-after-before comparison.

My observation, based on a series of passes over a particularly upsetting piece of road near my home, is, "Yes, a strut brace did something".

Without the brace, there was "cowl shake"* of intolerable character and magnitude.

With the brace, shake was reduced by what I'd say was 60%, to a (barely) tolerable level. A worthwhile improvement, in my view.

Where passage over the test pavement without the brace made me think, "How much of this can the car stand?" and, "What will happen if it keeps up?", with the brace it was, "Weird inputs that will be over in a few seconds".

* Cowl shake is when you sense the dashboard/cowl section of the car is rotating around a fore-aft horizontal axis independent of other, normal car and suspension activities.

I haven't touch a convertible yet...
Not even a collision one, so I wouldn't know the exact differences.
When I'll get one, I'll stick it on the lift and check it all out.

I'm watching this thread with great interest, too.. I did a lot of suspension upgrades to my last car, and now I have an 06 GT vert.. I want to start doing suspension work to make it better in the twisties, but I have been finding subtle differences between the coupes and the verts that not many people seem to be aware of. And yes, the verts definitely have stock sub-frame connectors.

MG - let me know what you decide on, and how you like it. I'm looking at some kind of lowering spring, and either Koni's or Tokicos, possibly Bilsteins or Eibachs too. I don't know yet. I'd like more input from vert owners who have made these mods already.
