People are implying that a strut brace dosnt do allot.

So why would having a rigid one make any differnece?

They are just for show? No?

A Strut Brace will help to minimse body roll and increase stability in corners.

Of course! Otherwise your insurance will be void and you'll kill a kid and go to jail for life and be raped in the bum by a big black man with a 16" (flaccid) penis. You silly, silly man -- how can you be so foolish to not declare this advanced vehicle modification? You deserve to be shot!
