I do have one and just like I don't go by butt dynos, I don't go by personal perception on suspension components either. The fact is that in a wishbone type suspension, the strut towers are not load bearing and therefore there is no massive flex involved in them. In a macpherson setup, the strut towers do bear the weight of the car and therefore do flex a lot and a bar is certainly helpful. They probably do help stiffen the car somewhat but I don't believe they make any large change. Go look in the autox forum and you'll see that many people who race their cars competitively don't use them. Obviously a decent change in lap time after installing one would change my mind
