The 850 i have for sale at the minute came with a strut brace fitted, it really does improve road holding, hard to believe it could make suce a difference, i had removed it from the 850 to sell it seperately, but i'm now considering fitting it to my S70.
On a road i was able to travel down at 40mph is now a hairy run at that speed :O the car skips accross the road alot more without the brace.
