sfcs for convertibles

does anyone know if the stock sfc needs to be removed before an aftermarket can be installed?

Stock 4th gen fbodies don't have sfc's (I don't know that any stock fbody ever did). The 4th gens have a weak x brace. Being that you have a convertible a set of aftermarket sfc's will be a big help to you. Get em .

the x brace is what i was talking about. does it have to be removed?

stock 4th gen verts have factory subframes.. not the beefiest but they do have them.

Does It Need To Be Removed??????????

From what Ive seen no, they reinforce what the stock subframes lack,and tie the centers together. I think the X brace does need to be removed. I dont have them myself so i cant say for sure :(

No the x brace doesn't need to be removed in order to have typical sfc's installed. However if you went with Double diamond (DD) SFC's then you might need to remove the x brace.
