Suspension Sway bars and sub frame connectors

  • Sponsors (?)


Looking to add front and rear sway bars and sub frame connectors to my 2000 V6 convertible automatic. Looking for suggestions. Will add shocks and lowering springs this spring. Thanks


I have Southside Machine sub frame connectors (bolt in) and SR Performance (American Muscle) f/r sway bars on my 2K GT convertible. Work great. Really stiffened it up. I also installed the SR Performance front and rear shock tower braces. I used Koni STR.T orange struts/shocks...drives like a go cart...stock springs.
Note 1: the SSM bolt ins are not like the bolt ins one commonly sees...they connect at the K-frame mounting bolts forward and at the lower rear control arm bracket aft. Big bars.
Note 2: I'm not sure SSM still produces the sub frame connectors...you may have to call to see if they have any. Make sure you tell them they are for a convertible.
Happy hunting.

Thanks for the reply. Will check out SSM bolt ins. Was looking at the welded ones from AM. Did you do any performance upgrades?

Mine's a GT...so, V8. I also installed Maximum Motorsport HD LCAs and UCLs/bushings, an MGS shifter, and an SLP LMII catback. I modified the factory CAI for higher/more air flow, and put together a PCV oil catch can. That is it...handles really well, snappy enough, and pleasant enough to drive distances if required.
