Default 1997 Convertible subframe connectors

Which subframe connectors would be best for a 1997 SVT cobra convertible? I would prefer bolt-on ones instead of welding-is that ok? It already has a strut tower brace so I'm thinking sub-frames will tighten it up enough.

I cant give you a specific recommendation, but I can tell you that you dont want bolt in subframe connectors. They are not as rigid to begin with and the bolts and bolt holes will get loose over time. With any type of structural brace it is crucial that it remains absolutely rigid. Otherwise it defeats the purpose.
