Installed my STB
So I bought a Cusco Front Upper Brace from Lloyd, very prompt sale and delivery! nice one Lloyd 
.
Piece of piss to install.
Once on I drove home and found a few bumpy roads to drive around on, wow what a difference! The car feels much more stable and less skittish going over bumps, turn in is more confident and steering feel has improved.
All in all the best mod I've done so far and why it's not on the car out of the factory I have no idea.

The previous owner of mine fitted a Cusco upper and lower front brace. Not driven it without them on, so can't comment on any difference in handling.
The upper one is CF. Looks very nice and seems to finish the engine bay off nicely.

CF effect brace? 
(I have the rear upper one).
I bought the front upper whiteline brace recently, but didn't feel like it made any difference at all. But then I already have the lower one, which is probably a big factor.

Do the rear braces make a difference?

So what complement of braces do you have, Dembo?
Front top and bottom, rear top and the lower X brace?
Not including the master cylinder one
