Default Subframe connectors

Recently purchased a 67 Convertible that will need a complete new body. Looking for suggestions on subframe connectors for a convertible. Welding in is not an issue. Not putting in a big block. Looking for some input on subframe connectors and if you can get rid of “cocktail shakers” if you add subframe connectors

IDK if you can eliminate the cocktail shakers if you have sub frame connectors but they are always a good idea for a Vert or Coupe

I just installed the Summit brand ones to my otherwise stock rear leaf set up (bolt in). If you are going with a aftermarket suspension like RideTech, Hotchkis or DSE than get theirs as the "fit" is likely better to bolt to their stuff

SRD has a nice set, if still in business.
The shakers were installed for deleting/absorbing body harmonics from going over the road surface, i.e., railroad tracks, etc.

Hotchkis makes a stiffening kit that include frame connectors and a more exhaust friendly cross brace. If you are looking for the rigidity of a coupe you are going to need to look at roll bar type structures that ties into the fire wall.
