cant see it doing anything, alu ones are for show only. if you want one which actually does something is will need to be a non adjustable steel one (like the omp one) and even then its debateable if they make a noticable difference on the road.

Strut braces add psychological rigidity which is half of the battle to getting a Corsa to handle like a go-kart.

If you've got original suspension fitted strut braces won't do almost nothing.
If you have a springs and shock combo you will feel a much more positive steering feel. With wide tyres like 205's and antiroll bars, you definitely feel the difference
There was an article many years ago on a Mag, showing the diferrence in corner power after fitting this kit
