Just out of curiosity, why not a rollbar? This will definitely stop lots of flex. I have one on my car and boy did it make a difference. I have a picture in, "My Corvette Photos."

If I remember... Dave (RD racing)posted a package deal where you could score those as well as an x-brace at really reasonable prices. I'd say those would be very good options for chassis stiffness and looks.

You definitely shouldn't ingore the X-brace for chassis stiffness. I only have the R-D Camber Brace, but it is an A-1 quality piece. I would not hesitate again to buy anything from R-D - Dave is a really standup guy.

The harness bar does stiffen the car. Especially if you like to take off the top. Harness bar + camber brace = stiffness and control.
Harness bar tightens the middle of car and camber brace does the same for the front.
I had both at one time. But had to go with full rollbar and eliminated camber brace and front sway bar for weight savings.
Less weight = faster = better et's.
