I carnt see how it does nothing! Why would they make them if they dont do anything? Im shure it will stiffen the chassis a little bit if one is fitted correctly 
I noticed a very small difference when i fitted mine, but it would be more benificial to fit a rear arb as i deffinatly noticed that!

because the top of the rear shocks wont have any lateral movement bar minium in the top mounts, all your doing is stoping any movement in the rear rubber top mount from one shock to the other
the most effective way to do it, would be to mount/weld something between the struts
