Strut brace

Quite simply, is it worth fitting one? I guess it will make the ride a little harder, but how much difference will it make on the handling on a track day?

It should make the car handle better in the corners, shouldnt really effect the ride

as mike says wont make the ride harder, the strut brace will stop the chassis flexing as much hence less body roll. allowing faster cornering on the road or track.
