Effectiveness of Strut Tower Brace in S70?

Have you experienced things such as increased rattles or squeaks, especially in the dashboard? This is a common complaint in some other makes of cars when they stiffen the front end of their FWD vehicles. I've thought about putting in the twistier OEM strut brace and possible a small-guage lower frame brace. Just to take some of the dive out of the front on turns, but not necessarily to correct all the understeer. I also don't want the handling to get too jittery - there's a reason I went with the 98 S70 over a 97 850.
