Why do strut front ends need to have braces if they are so good ? My ricer has them on both ends. My Cobra chassis is stiff enough to not need braces. Maybe it's because all modern cars are designed to collapse on impact. My crappy old jag front end has purpose built upper wishbones and a revised upper shock mount. It is 'correct' for the geometry. the CG is very low and the bump steer is zero. YAY
