Strut tower brace. Feel a difference?

Can anyone who installed a strut tower brace feel a difference? Steering response, stiffness? I like the idea of chassis stiffenening but am skeptical as to the real effect in street driving.

Well if you like the idea, why not just go for it?

I could honestly feel the difference in the racing beat tower to tower bar.

Both are very noticeable improvments. Your steering response will go up dramatically. Street or race, unless you drive like granny, youll feel the difference.
