I'm not getting into trying to explain why that would only add to the floor structure, and why a brace higher in the body would add rigidity, above my structural building knowledge.

Moment arm something something....I get it. Is it worth the added weight, and loss of trunk useability though?

I disagree with the no structural significance, I would say not a lot of structural significance, it is a unit body, adding that brace ties the wheel wells together higher up in the structure, granted it will be marginal but some is better than none.

when I get around to it I’m pulling it off and selling it.
