One of the main reasons I want a strut brace is that my car tends to bottom out hard with my 19" wheels and lowered springs. Since coilovers or new shocks are not available for the XI to pair with these springs, I had a feeling this would happen. I'm hoping the strut brace in the front takes a little bit out of harshness, by stiffening up the front and not flexing so much, every time I hit a pothole or bump on one side of the car.

Strut brace will not fix that C... the strut brace will only help with body roll.
