How much it helps varies by opinion. It's not going to hurt anything, though.

You *may* notice a little more stiffness- these F-bodies aren't too bad in that area- more likely you would notice an increase in vehicle stiffness and stability if you installed sub-frame connectors. Is your car a T-top equipped one?

In my opinion it's more "eye candy" than fuctional. The Search function will net you other's opinions.

Very functional and noticable on a convertible.

Not especially, the difference is very subtle. A stiffer front swaybar is a much better mod.

I have the BMR brace and sub frame connectors on my 93Z... I do know there is a difference in handling... Opinions vary...
