Bilstein shocks (yellow I think)

Square metal tubes running about 6' on the bottom on both sides. (sub frame brace for convertible I guess)


Just curious.....thanks.

Subframe connecters yes but i don't think they are 6 ft long. All Convertibles have sub frame connecters.

Bilstein shocks No I don't believe so.

Sounds like someone did a little suspension work on your car.Someone replaced the short factory subframes with full lenght ones. Are they welded in place?

Also look at your struts and in the engine bay, look at your stut towers.. you may have adjustable struts and C&C plates.. may have a somewhat modified suspension on the car.

Okay, well I guess that is a good thing. The support bar is bolted on, here is a pic of one side: So this isn't stock?

Looks like a Bilstein to me...

Yeah I should of went and included that pic the first time, but was trying to focus on those square tubes........my bad.

I will check out the front later adjustable struts.

What are C&C plates? This is what sucks about buying a used car....I know about my old '70 mustang, and nothing about this one. Not the brands or the upgrade paths...

that looks like the bottom of my car... so i would think those subframe connectors are stock, unless mine are aftermarket also.... i dont know now i am curious

Yes, my 99 GT vert came with factory subframe connectors. Those shocks look like some Cobra take-offs. CC's (camber-caster plates) bolt in place of the factory front strut mount giving more adjustability of the strut (for alignment purposes following lowering spring installation). Look under the hood on the shock towers.
