And exiwolman's not totally right about the strut brace being pointless. My strut bar has just added 20 style points and a kilo of weight to my engine bay. That should be worth some extra hp, right?

the brace still helps against tower collapse over time. as a vehicle ages the towers will change shape/geometry due to gravity and use. a strut brace helps to counter-act this effect and keeps the geometry more correct for the longevity of the vehicle.
