Somehow missed this entire thread last time...lots of very amusing braces in the pictures. Some are pure bling (bar across the rear of the hatch) others are just plain mad (bar 10cm from the tranny Xmember that does exactly the same thing)(rails running from front to back...whuhahahaha).
Others look quite good, like the subframe strengthening inserts and anything fixing the front strut towers.

But really, some things do absolutely nothing but add weight: other examples are the large "tri-bar" in the rear..you fix the shocktowers to piece of weak sheetmetal in the trunk...that'll do a lot of good..What you want to do is somehow tie them into the front suspension. that would mean connecting the shocktowers to pieces of the frame that are in the loadpath of the front suspension..difficult to do properly without a cage, so best left aside for weightsaving purposes.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear
