hummel- go nail it into a bend (with clear line of sight) with a bit of adverse camber.. you might find the back end is a bit more controllable as it starts to slide

I'm presuming that you have a newage Scoob. Haven't done it myself, but the general opinion on here seems to be that bracing is pretty much a waste of time unless all the other suspension components have been stiffened up considerably. The chassis is extremely rigid (IIRC the press releases on launch of the bugs quoted 200% moreso than a classic) and thus has very little flex with standard suspension.

Anything that gives you a kind feeling is never a waste of time!
