My intent will be to add X brace accordingly, etc. but is this normal flex and how do you address it.

I think these cars flex more than people think... or want to believe. Maybe not to the extent to be problematic on street tires, but certainly noticeable with slicks on the track. With slicks I've pinched the passenger door in the opening, tight enough to split the inner and outer panels above the striker. How do I address it? I accepted the fact that a ladder-style chassis is a terrible design when it comes to torsional rigidity... then I increased the spring rates to the point that the chassis performs as a spring as much as the actual springs do... and the car got faster.
