But can you trust the company? It's run by some dodgy Rennlister

schnell for about $ 140 works fine and is built well, easy enough to install.

Does the strutbrace really make a difference, or is it just to look like a racer?

It depends what you use the car for. If you are just driving it on the road, maybe not. On the track, I would say its almost essential............And it looks cool

OK, I guess I should give a fairer answer. I think that there are 2 issues. I suspect from the nature of the original quation "will it help a Targa" that Targas have a rep for having a less stiff chassis (only guessing from the question). While a strut brace will not stiffen the chassis, it should make the front geometry work better under hard driving conditions on any car, unless it has a welded cage that takes care of those loads anyway
