To Strut or Not to Strut Front Rear

Been reading and looks like adding struts could be fun, but is it really needed for a 05 Cooper for Street Play. I play hard, my DSC is always in play.

Would I really gain that much more?

Would welcome your thoughts.

dustin- im running h-sport springs and a 22mm alta rear swaybar.
i drive street (at times very spiritedly) but have not had the need
to use tower bars on my car.

when lifting the front tire off the ground, the rear also raises up...
just to give you how rigid our car's chassis is.

unless you're running high spring/damp rates for race applications,
you won't need it.
