Chassis Flex


I know that this probably should be in the convertible section or maybe the suspension section but this section sees more action than those to combined!! I have an 01 cobra vert and I'm almost positive that this isn't possible but I would like to get as close to it as I can. As you guys no convertibles aren't the best cars for rigidity. I would like to start an engine build up, but not sacrifice my convertible. So how can I make the chassis stay rigid like a coupe? I know strut towers, etc. help but someone maybe give me a list of things to do to prevent as much flex as possible??? Thanks

full length frame ties, weld torque boxes, sway bars, and a tubular K member would be my advice, along with strut tower brackes, but thats about all I know of

The cobra vert should have SFC's. But you can get the MM matrix sub frame setup it is awesome. Don't know your room in the back but a rear shock tower brace would help alot.
