Rear Strut Brace

Does anyone have any experience with using a rear strut brace in their boxster ? I have a front strut brace in mine. And, although I don't think that this addition has made for better handling, I must say that it has quieted down some of the notorious squeaks and creaks often associated with convertible top/cowl shake. I am curious know if installing a strut rear brace has a similar benefit ?

I've got a Schnell rear strut brace in my Boxster... Can't say that it really made any difference. Looks cool though when I actually see it. One bonus I found this weekend though is that I can use it as a harness bar and I now have my three point harness strapped to it. :dance:
