how much difference does having a strut brace make?
got mine -40mm on shocks & springs (ahem g-max, sorry), with poly busher top mounts.
handles ok, still has a wee bit more body roll than i'd like, and sometimes the back end feels like it wants to shift

I never felt a difference when I put it on but after I was forced to take it off I noticed more body roll so I guess its worth the cash but dont expect to notice it though

You want the front hard but not too hard but you want the rear to be harder than the front so thats my future plan. Do the rear ARB and should handle better (in theory)
