The strut brace by itself will not do much. It's effects will be imperceptable in almost all driving conditions except for a mountain road at the limit when it's effects will be minimal on a stock car.

IT does stifen the front suspention, but unless you are putting more load on it with stiffer springs and struts you won't notice much difference. On the other hand if you do all the other mods first, then install the brace, you will notice slightly crisper and more controllable behavior at the limit.

Having said that, the strut brace was my first mod. It's cheap looks good and prepares the front end for what is to come.
