whats the advantages of using the TC4 chassis braces

i know the TC4 towers would be good for better tunabilty

are you using the nTC3 rack on the stock TC3 chassis?
advantages:
-they should be stiffer (more rigid) than the carbon ones there now
-should mate up well with the titanium hinge pins
-but the main reason is looks & uniformity... as the rest of the car will be in alum/titan/CF/SSG, those would help to "complete" the package

yes, the TC4 towers offer more tunability, which is a plus, but again, not the main reason.

I'm not using the NTC3 rack (should I make the switch? what's the reasoning behind changing? more durable? less prone to get sh*t stuck in it? any benefit?), but i had planned on using an alum version of the stock TC3 rack and, no this won't be on the stock chassis, it'll be on an Xtreme SSG chassis (which is drilled for both NTC3 & ETC3, so either should be a viable option).

I'm not as interested in the benefits one might see on the track with these upgrades as this one will only rarely get run... it'll be more for show than anything else (but, hey, if it's fast, that's not a problem for me :P )

Again, thanks for your time and help here, it is truly appreciated.
