I call BS on that,I have the OMP brace on my car,and could feel quite a large differance after installing the brace.
Install a rear brace and you'll feel a real difference.

I call BS on your butt-G-meter.
Ask yourself what a McPherson strut does that a shock doesn't do. In that, you'll find the answer as to why they the "brace" doesn't work.

I have an omp brace. I got it on ebay for $40. It looks nice, but I felt no gains whatsoever.

well no butt dyno here. i will say when i go into my drive way over a big bump one wheel at a time it feels solid. I found out, when i fist put the fstb on the screws got lose. i would hear them snaping back and forth.i drove for a few days before i realized they loosned up on me. After tightening down, no more cracking noises. Then i knew the strut mounts were flexing over harsh bumps. Other than that, no gain in cornering maybe a slight of a diff.!!
i gained for .90g's to .95g's 300ft skidpad 
looks good!!
Now the rear stb madde a diff. I felt a diff when i was cornering. I won't say how fast around the corner i was going.

I'd love to hear about where your football field diameter skidpad is located. The one at VIR is only 100 feet.
