It doesn't effect the performance as it is not part of the engine. It does though improve the handling as it stiffens the chassis therefore reducing body flex.

i put a front brace on mine and noticed a big difference in the handling, have also got the rear brace just need to get the time to fit it. I changed my tyres at the same time which also made a difference. For the price of the braces
it's a good mod. Only downside is that some insurance companies don't like them fitted, as if you were to get a knock on your left side it is then pushed through to the right and vice versa.
