On our cars, we went to rear aluminum chassis braces to limit the flex of the chassis just ahead of the gear box. The design of the brace, however, still allows for torsional twist, unlike most designs. A lot can be done with a brace.
On the front of the car, we're now using a full - hard brace, which limits the flex much more than the rear, thus keeping the steering geometry where it's supposed to be.
The design of the suspension geometry will dictate how an aluminum brace will affect the overall performance of the chassis.
