It's a typical "weekend warrior" setup that's still streetable. Has the strut tower brace made a significant improvement in lap times? No. Steering feel? Maybe. I think so, but it's honestly hard to say how much of that is placebo effect. Perhaps if my suspension were much more advanced it would be a bigger deal.

Whatever the theoretical advantages may be, the important thing is what happens in the real world. On a typical E30 with a typical suspension and a typical level of grip you're just not going to see a huge improvement with a front strut tower bar (and certainly not with a rear bar). I still run one. There is a small improvement. But it would be pretty far down on my list of chassis upgrades.
