I would love to see if Werks did any measurements on how much more rigid it makes the chassis. On their website all it says is:

"Our new WERKSracing SOL/SKY/OPEL GT Front Frame Brace increases chassis rigidity and decreases chassis flex. Noticeable difference in turn in response, makes turn in a lot crisper."

If there were more details on how effective this is, I might consider it.

What kind of details were you looking for?

Like jack up the left front until the right front just starts to lift off of the pavement and measure how high the left front lift is.  Repeat with frame brace.  Compare measurements.

Yeah that's how they measure stiffness of a center tunnel brace. I assume it would work with a front brace. There has to be some measurable difference other than just steering feel.
