Default Chassis Flex

I have heard alot of talk about this problem in C4's and I am wondering about how to fix it. I don't want to put on a camber brace until I do a cam and Meziere. Will something like the DRM Roll bar help, or the Exotic Muscle Chrome Moly Roll bar? I love the way they look and I want 4 point belts but will they help with the flex?
Thanks for any help.

A cheap way to reduce flex in a coupe is to find crossbar as found underneath frame on convertibles. I believe there is thread going on right now with pics on this. I do like rollbars too though. I want one that I can also store my top in back.

There is a post around with someone with a six point cage that goes far enough out in the back to allow the top to be stored.

The harness bars do stiffen the car up - Hardbars, RD-Racing, Brey-Krause are some brands that get good press.
