Flex
Do all of the third gen convetibles flex as much as mine? I'm ordering frame connectors but I wonder if they will be enough. If you go over a speed bump it feels like the windshield moves a foot. You can hear it too. My car is and 88 but it has never been wrecked. Do the newer thirdgens have more support?

Try subframe connectors and a strut tower brace. I've read that a lot of people who got a STB really noticed a difference.

a nice set of sfc's with the crossbraces like the spohn's, an edelbrock 3 pt stb, and maybe even have someone fab up a shock tower brace if it will fit in a vert. No more flex
just don't do the 3 point stb b4 the sfc's. I've heard stories of windshields breaking.

Well, Id like to say that I just installed my $20 Jamex STB in the Vert the other day. All I can say is wow! I expected to notice a little, but its really amazing now. Granted, we didnt notice as much of a diff. in the hardtop GTA, but the convertibles can use all the reinforcments they can get.
BTW: What SFC's are you getting? Ive heard only the Kenny Brown ones will work, now that Alston doesent make them anymore.
