These cars respond great to braces. Its not rocket science to look at the car and decide where thrust forces are applied and where improvements can be made. Computer modeling and stress analysis is great but not possible for every shop. There are other more practical ways to determine the effectiveness of a component.
The chassis can be called the fifth spring and can be "tuned" just like the traditional springs at each corner.
If anyone else have driven a car with a proper 8 point roll cage in it thats a great example of a stiff chassis. With a full cage the added stiffness is really a perk since the main design is focused on safety.
