Stock MCS swaybar on MCC?

We're having a little mod party this weekend and one of the people coming has a MC convertible. The MCC does not have the SS+ so it is the smallest swaybar and we plan to replace it with one from a MCS. Will the MCS swaybar fit on a MCC? I've never done a convertible before so is there anything very different from a non-convertible?

You shouldn't have a problem. Aftermarkey bars fit either sedan or convert & so should the stock one.

The install is similar, but the Cabrio has a fifth subframe bolt that is just behind the exhaust and under the heat shielding.

I just posted a VIDEO how-to for the installation of a rear swaybar and there is specific footage of our install on a Cabrio to help you out.
