Which adds more chassis rigidity the stock X beam or a Cusco tower strut. (Were talking about the brace ion the engine bay here.)

Cusco without a doubt. I found the stock x brace to be extremely flimsy.

^ I haven't used a Cusco but yeah the stock X brace is really flimsy compared to pretty much anything else. I will probably make my own to replace it.

The stock xbrace is good for looks only. Theres no way that thing braces anything. I noticed NO difference taking mine off.
