Chassis bracing: worth it?
 
There's that group buy on the RD Camber Brace on CF. Is this worth it for a street-driven car in which I have no huge complaints about the stiffness? Obviously the car is creaky, it's a C4, but that's how it goes.

I also don't want to go crazy putting braces everywhere. So if you were to add one brace, what is the most bang for the buck? I'd kind of think the one that goes across the seatbelt mounting points wouldn't be, since the targa truss is also there.

I'm not really trying to address a problem, it's just I keep seeing that GB thread. Thanks!

The X-brace under the car works. I have a lower car, and no one wants to be behind me:redface: Spark Show, it drags on everything. 55-70 mph and hit a bridge gap look out. The concrete is flying:jawdrop:

The x-brace does work, more so than the harness bar. It is about 70-80% of ride quality of the top being on versus off with the x-brace. It is liveable on all but the worst bumps as opposed to terrible on even smaller bumps.

I considered one of these before but decided against it after the feedback I got here:

Thanks! Sounds like it's not worth it as I've no real complaints currently. :)

The x-brace seems like a no-go due to the reduced clearance. I'll keep it in mind though.
