Default I need advice on how to get stiff

I just bought an 01 SOM convertable TA a couple weeks ago and want to know everything I can do to stiffen up the body. I plan to weld up some BMR SFC's and add a strut tower brace, I was just curious if there is anything else I can do? She is relatively quiet inside (tire whine and that wonderful V8 rumble excluded) and I want her to stay that way.

*************WARNING - OFF TOPIC**************
Also, does anyone know how I can get hold of US Exotics?

I have heard people weld up the body seams for extra rigidity. But I dont know much about it. You could ad a cage j/k

I am not up on my accronyms, what is APHB?

How do LCA's and lowering increase body stiffness? I thought those were only a handling upgrade, Please educate me.

Good thread title, LOL! SLP SFC's and a good cage are your best bet. I'm not sure how you could weld up the body panels since most of them are plastic.

"Adjustable Panhard Bar"

LCA's and lower dont increase body stiffness. Just handling. I would just do subframes.
