All braces that connect at least 2 chassis points should increase structural rigidity, however the question is how much increase and is it worth the cost of the brace (vs. another modification).
The increase in rigidity from a brace like this is only going to come into play at the extremes of the cars performance and usually are "later" mods meaning that you have the other, more important mods (e.g. a high quality suspension) done first.
Just my $.02

Good bracing? The TSW underbody bracing, or better yet, the Cusco system.
