I have had both the straight and curved bars in my car. I like the straight bar better but it doesn't clear my air cleaner so I have to use the curved bar. The straight bar works better than the curved one in terms of handling.
I highly doubt that there are any real noticeable differences between the straight and the curved in terms of handling, however these bars do stiffen up your front quite nicely. If you match it with a sway bar underneath, it really reduces roll and improves handling. I would definitely go with the curved setup--as already noted it allows for better air cleaner clearance and it gives you better access to the distributor and cap.

Question:

How would export brace and/or Monte Carlo Bar work with a Convertible?

You're right, there isn't a big difference, but I could tell the difference whenever I changed them.

I just had a one piece built (I think MAIR, sp??) makes one almost identical now and it turned out nice for me. I had it powder coated red to give some color under the hood.
