Hi Allen. The braces work very well at stiffening the car. I can't comment on any impact on handling as I didn't push the car hard with the braces on and I did the subframe connectors shortly there after. I'm very pleased with the overall combination of the g braces and the subframe connectors. Rattles and creeks have been minimized. The car doesn't feel as loose and flexible as it was prior to their installation. I can put a finger between the t top and the windshield cowl and not be pinched going around corners or hitting bumps like I used to.
I did not reinforce any part of the car for the g braces. I may in the future when I do body work. I know that's topic of discussion with these parts. I also know a lot of people have used these type braces for years without issues to the firewall and didn't reinforce anything.
I say do it for sure. Good luck and thanks!
