I found I noticed fitting of the 4 brace lower front bar than the top one...you feel everything the steering is doing with the lower brace. I also have coilovers and love them...mint mint mint.

I would say that the stiffer the springs, the more needed additional bracing will be, because the chassis will flex more. It's not vital for a road car though.

and rally cars are seam welded.
Anyway, I too felt a big difference with a lower strutbrace, especially running slicks on track, but not always for the best.It sometimes felt that it made the front a bit too stiff, so giving a bit more understeer, whereas a bit more compliance might have produced the results Graham/911 felt. I have a top brace on it as well but it's the universally derided Sti carbon one
