If you want to experiment with chassis stiffening feel, just unbolt your strut bar and drive around town. You WILL feel a difference!

That's funny because its a lot stiffer than the Z.

You want the chassis to be rigid, especially if you are subjecting it to racing forces.
But making the suspension as stiff as possible does not always mean better performance. There's such a thing as too stiff and too soft. Go too stiff and you'll lose all your mechanical grip.

yea, there is a happy medium between too stiff/rigid and not stiff/rigid enough, and although that depends on the circumstances (track/DD) it is usually somewhat firmer than stock.

Looks like they would not interfere with one another.

The LTH's don't drop very low either, so I think clearance would be fine.
