After doing IPD sway bars and new shocks & struts, I added the upper strut braces. I immediately noticed better steering feedback, and the front end just seemed tighter with more precise steering. I added the lower braces later, and these improved things further, but not as dramatically as the upper strut braces. I'm thinking of adding the Cherry strut-to-strut brace next.

If you have some decent boneyards near you, prowl around and see if you can find a 240 GT - pull the strut braces (and the little firewall spacers) from one for cheap.
