We recently installed lowers on a friends 'vert, uppers weren't accessable because of the top motor location and a panel covering them from the inside [&:], any suggestions on how to reinforce them from the bottom.

im not understanding the motors in the way part please explain???

The convertable top motor to take the top up or down is mounted on a box that covers the entire reartrunk area and under the back seat, will all the wiring and hydro hoses in the way so you can't access the upper control arm mounting area from inside the car like you would in a hatch. Follow me or no? [&:]
I got a few pics at home...

yea... I've been told that the 'verts have additional bracing anyways, so i dunno if the upper reinforcements are needed? But i'd like to put them in just for a piece of mind.

I think the only way is from below with a homemade box style reinforcement, we also put n a MM 6 point cage, looks awesome and stiffens the car up wicked, lower torque plates went in good and helped as well. I think the uppers are gonna have to be reinforced as best as ya can and hope for the best. [&:]Thats all I can think of? Anyone else?? Thanks
