strut braces

got some questions on struct braces. i know that there are differing opinions on these, some say they help, some say they don't. some say they help if on sticky tires, some say only after your car gets tired and loose, etc. i ask as, anytime my car spends any time on jack stands, it gets all out of whack. top won't close, trunk won't close, etc. cleans up when back on it's feet, but it speaks to rigidity of frame (or lack thereof).

so, looking at options. there are carbon products and hollow aluminum products, but nothing solid and nothing steel. would carbon or hollow aluminum do any good, as i could see carbon and hollow aluminum being ok for tension but no good at compression? seems steel or solid aluminum would be best ...
