So, can anyone tell me why GM engineers feel the convertibles need a strut brace but coupes do not? I have searched (and read) some other threads on this and I understand the horizontal stiffening provided by the brace, but why does the convertible come standard with one and not the coupes? Is there really that much additional "flex" in the suspension without the hard roof/pillars of the coupe being present? Just curious.
