2008 Honda Fit Struts Bars

I currently owned a 2008 Honda Fit. At the moment i have coilovers and an exhaust system along with an aftermarket cold air intake system. From what i've read, and have personally driven the Fit for over 200 miles so far, the Fit seems like a cornering monster. My real question is, does adding a front struts bars and rear struts bars helps with the whole making the ride handles better? Or is it a waste of money doing so.

Some general points about chassis braces: If the cross-bar has a single bolt acting as a hinge at each end, the whole thing is just for show - it's junk. Look for products with no pivot/flex points. Double (or more)-bolted joints are okay as long as they don't pivot. The more points that bolt to the chassis, the better. Triangles are strong - if it creates triangles between parts of the chassis, or uses triangles in the brace structure, that's a good sign.

What about something like this:
