I had one on my old Escort GT. It firmed up corners nicely.
Basically, it has a similar function of the strut tower brace. It's helping keep suspension geometry 'optimal'. Less flex in the chassis, the more the suspension works rather than flexing the chassis.
If you are daily driven, I probably wouldn't recommend it (makes the ride more harsh as it removes chassis flex & quivers). If you auto-X/track days/aggressively approach clover leaves, I'd give it a try. Not too much money for the experiment, and if you don't like it, I'm sure somebody else will!
Same as a K-member brace on a Mustang...
