Yeah, strut braces are definitely a good thing.
I was very impressed with the improvement one made on my car, heaps better turn in on slower corners, & the front sits so much firmer on faster corners, I would hate to have to take it off & drive without it.

One thing about strut braces though, they are NOT meant to be adjusted once on the car! The adjustment is only to fit it, which should also be done on a flat surface, and then locked in that position with the nuts supplied.
Preloading tension or compression forces on it would certainly risk damaging the strut brace, & I guess cracking the chassis wouldn't suprise me either.
