Default Sub frame connectors and Rear sway bars..

Just wondering if these things are factory from the 99 GT? yesterday I had an exhaut leak and my cousin and I were fixing it and I noticed that I had subframe connectors and a rear sway bar. Were these factory, or did I stumble on more things my car had that I didn't know of? THe sway bar I figured was probably factory, but the subframe connectors looked to be an aftermarket welded in piece? The rear sway bar ran behind the axle, pretty much even with the.......**** can't think of the name of it, the gear housing (sorry went blank, can't think of the actual name of the part I am talking about).

Any one on this one?

give me 5 minutes and I'll get some pics to show....

I know for sure they don't come with sub frame connectors.....The machs do, but they are not full length and aren't welded....so the pretty much are crap! ha ha

Here's the pics, again the quality isn't great


It's kindof hard to see, but the circled piece runs pretty much from axle to axle, and is welded in (to me looks like it was an after factory weld)




I was just curious to these things since yesterday was the first time I had my car in the air and noticed these things.

Sway bar appears to be stock, the sfc's arent, but you need better ones if they are rounded and bolted on.

SFC's look like someone took a set off a convertible GT and put them on a hardtop. They look A LOT like the ones I just had removed from my 'vert.

These are square and welded in.
