Thanks for the link
The ST is a very solid car and being smaller makes it more solid in many aspects.
I recommend to really consider if needed as if not really then it is added weight that does nothing for performance, lots of stuff sold like that including braces for places not really needing to be stiffer.
It there is a need determined by those that really know then by all means I would do whatever it takes to make the car better.
What I have determined so far, just from taking a good look at the design of the car and a history of modding many cars.
1) Front STB, not likely needed unless all out track duty car build and then may still not be needed.
2) Rear, shock tower brace, the car is very well built back there, if not on full coilovers I doubt it would do any good. If on coilovers there might be enough flex to need it but even then is is very solid in that area.
3) set of four underbody braces, probably only needed, if so, on hard core track, drift, etc builds.
Anything we do that does not give a proven performance gain will give a performance loss in most all cases. It is far better to spend mod money on gains first, style second, some of these parts may be more style than substance, to me at least
