This is a brace that goes across Behind the Front seats, From sill to sill. Making the center of the Car More rigid!

I would say that it does some good, similar to subframe connectors. If this is a true bolt-in without cutting or drilling, it could be worth it. It could be more geared towards autocrossing, sine it would not be considered feasible for a roll cage component. The more support across the unibody, the better off we will be. Remember, we don't have a rear strut tower brace.
