Doesn't that provide rigidly to the front suspension? I'm not sure I would trade rigidity for lightness.

Being square with the specs on the coilovers and the gigantic FSB, I am already getting some push. Would like to actually loosen up the front to get a bit more front end grip (rotation).

I'm no expert, but here's my two cents. Presumably, bracing the front preserves your alignment under load. Consider if your front flexes in corners, it will deflect your outside tire inward and effectively increase the camber. You pay a lot for an accurate alignment; why give it up when you need it the most?
