They make a big difference in the car. It feels alot stiffer but you also loose a little ride quality because of this. For any vert that you plan on putting more power into its a must. Even if you don't plan on upgrading much, its a good investment for preventing future leaky tops and other problems associated with convertibles.

The verts do come with crappy stock subframe connectors in place but they are not full length and for the price of good ones its worth it to upgrade. They get removed when the new ones go on.

I used the Maximum motorsports full length powdercoated ones and then primed and painted the welds. It should cost around $100 $150 to get them installed.

Another thing is make sure that whoever installs them on for you has done it before. There are a few horror stories out there about the installers catching the interior carpet on fire and ruined alot of the interior.
You shouldn't need to remove the carpet. I didn't. The welder needs to alternate welding in different areas to keep the heat down.
