There was a guy on SL who did something similar to the floor bracing you're speaking of back in the day. Some type of "X" bracing IIRC. |

| Re: C-pillar Bar
Just to chime in here. I have a C Pillar bar on my box. you do have to remove the cover. I had to notch out part of the seat belt bracket so it would mount flush. Took a dremel made a notch and now it fits. | |

| Re: C-pillar Bar
The only thing about interior bars is they can only do so much. Suspension tuning is all about proper transference of energy, and a lot of the straying energy doesn't usually reach the points where most interior bars attach to.
IMO, the Weapon-R braces does 'something'. What that 'something' is remains to be a mystery to me. All I know is my interior creaks like all hell when I corner hard. I still don't know if this noise is actually doing me any good.
The most drastic changes done to my suspension were the ones made to the underbody. Your spring/shock combo or coilover application goes without saying.
--EDIT--
BTW, I'm referring to the Weapon-R trunk brace. I don't have roof bracing so I can't really say much about it.
