Yes. Worth less than $120.

From Mustang World:

WHAT DOES THIS UPPER BRACE DO?
This brace keeps the shock towers from flexing / collapsing under hard driving conditions or minor accidents. The SN95 based Mustang's chassis is very stiff up front as is, but this brace will further increase the strength and stiffness up front. There are several manufacturers that make upper strut braces including Mac, Saleen, BBK, Steeda and more. The typical cost of this brace is $149 avg.

The S197 mustang will benefit from a shock/struct tower brace. B production Scca racing cars all use them so there must be something to it. I replaced the stock Ford Racing metal brace for the Shelby heavy Aluminum brace which is much stiffer than the stock one. I do feel a small diifference when pushing through the turns.

There is a lot of documentation on the net about these braces and what they do for all pony cars not just the mustang.

It's the easiest suspension mod you can do!

Absolutely no difference for me, but the Steeda Billet
Strut Tower Brace sure looks good

Wouldn't waste my money on a tower brace but this thing is intriguing the hell out me lol.

If you have a convertable, you can definitely feel the ride get smoother. In a hard top, it is harder to justify. If your springs are a lot stiffer than stock, it will help to stiffen up the chassis in response to it. The difference likely won't be felt but measured on a track. Unless you're competing for a prize it probably isn't worth it.

In a reasonably well-developed race car where the other sources of chassis flexibility have been stiffened up, you probably do get some smallish benefit. But only when you're driving at race-level intensity and being timed to the 0.001 second is it ever going to show up.

In a street-driven car the vast majority of what you're feeling is a reduction in cowl shake.
