to quote matt from very long ago, "an h-brace is 100% useless; mounting something solid to something solid won't do anything."

I guess roll cages are useless too then.

That's great. I don't need you to tell me how to design my car. I just want to know if I need to modify anything for this to fit.

roll cages are something completely different. i dont know how you can put an xbrace and roll cage in the same category.

Albeit, it's not entirely accurate, it's close enough. The reason X-Braces don't work all that well, is all in how they're mounted. A roll-cage isn't comparable, because it's not 2 simple bars spanning a short distance, attaching to no structural focal points. After all that, they're really only good for eliminating ground clearance.
