My last Miata had all kinds of braces, my current one has none.
You could get frog arms, and butterflies, and three points and rear subframe braces... I'm just not sold on adding a lot of metal to the car at those points.
I'd like to see actual track data on one car, braced everywhere vs braced nowhere. See if the hundred pounds of metal does something more than make the car more comfortable.
A cage, like a 12 or 16 point, tied into shock towers, that's some real triangulation.

I agree Im not sure any of my bracing makes the car faster. It sure makes it feel better though.
