NO
Thats the bolt to shock type, which are crap.
they should be welded or bolted to the sides of the struts.

In a word no.
It just bolts on top of your strut, It won't improve handling. It's only function would be looking pretty.

Think about it, If the brace bolts to the strut threads is that really going to stop chassis flex?
The stuts flex when driving anyway so the brace may weaken the threads after time.

yea they dont actually hold the chassis at all. think about it. all its holding is the shocks which attach to the car by rubber so still allows flex.
