Convertible Subframe Connector Recommendation
 
I am looking at both the Hotckis and Global West weld-in subframe connector.
I drive the car quite a bit and tired of the flexing during aggressive driving/cornering. Also considered modifying a set of bolt-ins to fit the convertible floor so they are easy to remove if I wanted to.

Would like opinions from those who have installed them as to which is better choice.

Thanks!

I've got the Global West connectors on my 67 and it made a big difference on the flexing.

I didn't know Global west made connectors for converts. I wonder what the clearence difference is between these and the Hotckis ones.

I went with the Heidt bolt-ons for my 68 vert. Got them from Summit, a little more $ upfront, but no fab work. Really made a big difference, drives like it's on rails now.

Thanks for the recommendations. I ordered the Heidt yesterday direct from Heidt. Summit was going to have them dropped shipped anyway so I ordered them direct. They are bolt-on and that was important to me and not much more than the Global West.
