The most effective handling modification you can do for the mony. If you have the space, fit one!!!
Mine probably does nothing though

just don't plan on going shopping in it afterwards though
according to some people, you will also need to triangulate it to some point of the boot floor for maximum rigidity, but then you DEFFINITLY won't be able to go anywhere with much in the boot

think they make the car feel more solid,stop the shell twisting abit,especially with the coilovers and track use.

Didnt realise there was a big need to have a rear strut brace with coilovers until reading the similar responses above!
But im using one in mine anyway... and a full cage

Do strut braces make the car much tighter?
