the prospec has more flex due to thinner chassi and different carbon fibre
Ah, right, I now remember you doing that. The biggest flex improvement for the R1 is removing the 4 screws that go through the top deck and into the motor mount. It frees up the car a lot. If you still want more, you can remove the 4 "inner" screws on the ends of the top deck too.
