A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link, stiffening up the chassis causes the weaker points to crack or break. Just like when running beefy sways and stiff suspension you run the risk of tearing mounting points and seams on the chassis. A stress brace creates equal support between the towers but doesn't necessarily prevent the shock towers from flexing opposite of the body. That's why I highly suggest gussets like the convertible to tie in the outside of the shock tower to the chassis behind the fenders, especially if a stress brace is used. A bar from the shock tower to a roll cage would help too! :p
