I agree re the cabs.
Monocoque and unibody are the same thing. For Porsche, the term monoque has been used for decades.

Weltmeister Cambermeister Strut Brace, 912E, 911/911 Turbo (1974-89)

During hard cornering, the stock front shock towers spread apart causing positive camber which reduces handling performance. The Cambermeister eliminates most of this camber change to maintain the optimum tire patch for maximum cornering ability. Bolts in and out easily in just a few minutes. You'll feel the difference immediately.

Ok, I installed it and it works great. Feel the difference mostly at the beginning of each turn.

I went with the Rennline product and my 930 and was happy with it. Nothing dramatic in terms of change but it quieted many of the little giggles and made the car feel more solid. Good looking too. Triangulated, no drill installation -- I liked that. Enjoy yours and don't torque the shock tower bolts down too hard.

I say it's a good call. Whilst I don't have one on mine I'd definitely consider it. It's one of the first mods I did on both my track cars (BMWs) and if the brace is a good one it should make a notable difference (certainly on track, you'll be harder pushed to notice on the road).
