so, looking at options. there are carbon products and hollow aluminum products, but nothing solid and nothing steel. would carbon or hollow aluminum do any good, as i could see carbon and hollow aluminum being ok for tension but no good at compression? seems steel or solid aluminum would be best ...

RK my 2000 S with 102K miles doesn't flex anything like yours & I assume yours didn't when new so maybe the great white north & the roads there you have mentioned have caused unusual wear &/or damage. Sounds like a through 30min + underbody inspection is in order. I don't see how a strut brace could hurt. Aluminum tube is probably safest bet.I do have a Technobrace from Pedro that seemed to help lateral rigidity.
