Frame support bar
Well not really a support bar but a kind of a brace to reinforce the frame, stiffen it up for better control, does anyone make one? Something to help with frame flex.

R-D Racing makes a brace called a Cross-Bar that is very similar to the factory convertible X-brace.
Coupes do have flex issues with the targa top removed but the best way to control that is to use a targa brace (and not the R-D Racing version
). Or leave the targa top in place.
Where do you see flexing? Street use? Autocross? Track days? R-D Racing has another brace called a Camber Brace that installs between the upper A-arm mounting points that work very well for stiffening the front end. It will provide a lot of stiffness for the front suspension.
