Any of the items out there that attach under a C4 are going to have limited effectiveness. The strongest part of a C4 frame is the bottom, the frame underneath our cars provides good rigidity. Take a look a the photo Cunningham posted awhile back. The frame goes through those huge box sections on either side.

The way to resist torsion is to increase strength at the top, which is why these cars suck with the top off. They are noodles.

Increasing the stiffness of the stiffest part of the car may have some marginal improvement, but not worth hundreds of dollars in this guy's opinion. There are SOOOOOOO many ways to improve the handling of a C4, why are we always fixated on these two?
