Did you ever try and install these in your convertible? I'd be curious how that went with the factory subframe connectors installed

You're in MD somewhere? I'm in Laurel.
I just want to follow up on this question because I don't see that it was answered, how do they compare to the Spohn/UMI Style?

My RS Camaro with a bent frame
Is it worth fixing, I have a new front end. All I gotta do it unclip the frame and clip the new one on.

Respect the purpose of the thread, do not make repeated off-content posts randomly around the board (as you are now doing). I deleted your off-topic post yesterday from someones car build thread.
