Default Targa-Truss... does anyone here have it?

Hi,

Nice weather here in So Cal and decided to take the targa off.
After driving the car for 10 minutes and going over a few bumps i thought that my car would fall apart because of flexing and vibrating.
I knew about this before and i`d like to do something about it.

Does anyone here have the Targa-Truss that Mid America and Ecklers are selling?
Does Targa-Truss installed give same tight feeling to the car just like the solid targa top or less tight feeling ?
I`d like to know if is worth paying $300 for it

I`m not interested in other mods or installing camber brace.

Thanx

Don't have one but my installed a stock X-brace from a vert & my car is much tighter w/ the top out now... and with the top on is like a rock.

I know the targa truss reduces a lot of flex but I don't have it yet. I put in the camber brace and the cross bar and they made a huge difference with the top out. At the top of the C4 Tech page there is a sticky thread where Dave is running a discount on all R-D Racing products for forum members. Give him a call, this is the same stuff that Mid America and Ecklers is selling but from the source and Dave will discount it for you.
