There is no way this is gonna help. Basically, if you want to stable a vehicle, your design have to somehow "touch" the "bone" of the vehicle. This thing is "hanging out" inside the interior which is probably almost 1 foot total both end away from the actual "unimportant part" of the vehicle's "bone". ---> pointless... Hope you understand what i'm saying.

Never seen one that goes inside the car like that unless it was part of a roll cage on a dedicated track car. If you really want to tighten the performance, the one that Trojan.525 posted is far more typical of what you would see to stiffen up the front suspension. Unless you really push the car or take it to the track for DE events, the improvement to the suspension would be difficult to tell. Alhtough if your into engine aesthetics, I do like the looks of front strut brace. Just make sure you install carefully with the appropriate clearance from the hood (ask me how I know 
)
