I was thinking about it, and while our cars may not suffer from the same extreme lack of rigidity you're examples displayed, we are not curing the problem simply by adding a STB. Think of it this way, Strut toweres are "flimsy" right? so what happens when you just add a bar across the tops of them? You get Two "flimsy" strut towers flexing together, whether it be front or rear, What I'm trying to get at is, unless they are triangulated, they aren't really doing much, and definently not there full potential. The front one needs to be tied to the firewall, the rear one can go to the floor for a third attaching place.
