No, as they aren't properly supported and only kept in place by bolts. Look at my website for a PROPER strut brace.

most mods that are done on engine bays all over this forum are mainly "looks" like for example 99% of all strut braces??

Painted rocker covers?????
polished bonnet stays WTF
ALLOY WHEELS most are just for looks not there for racing reasons!
