do they really work tie up the back of the car? stop chassis flex? and adjustable ones or non?? and difference in hooking better 60 foots?
The upper and lower control arms attach to points on the car structure that can and do move relative to each other under heavy acceleration. Additional bracing between these points will reduce this "flexing", but not completely eliminate it.
By preloading one brace against the other I think you can move the corner weights around; sounds like you'd be using this to add a little "weight" to the RR tire. Sort of like adding or bleeding off air in a bag inside the RR spring.

I made my own, Can you Fab?? Check out the pics. The large cross brace at rear of frame that holds the upper trailing arms is 3 sided, it can flex.
Between the upper trailing arm mount and frame, Fab up a plate that will box it in.
Tie the lower trailing arm frame mount to the rear frame "cross brace" I used 1 1/2 inch tube. The lower bolts to the lower trailing arm mount with the suspension bolt,{may have to get a longer one} I used all grade 8 ,,, 1/2" bolts, had to ream out all holes slightly. The upper and lower parts of the tube I bolted in place first for proper alignment then welded, I also tide the tube to the factory stamped bracing, removed the upper bolt and welded "plate" on all 4 edges. No technical proof that it helped but looking at the aftermarket stuff available it is similar with the addition of the "box in plate" Sooooo in my opinion it works well

I have a set just like Illegal regal's. On the car when I bought it. Along with, I guess there called South side bars. Wish mine looked like his underneath! But I wouldn't want to drive it then too damn nice.
