they stiffen the upper part of the suspension and prevent it from flexing in, but the fronts are already close to the firewall so they won't make a big difference. the rears will help more since they flex more. plus a lot of people think they look nice under the hood and in the trunk 
since they are nice and shiny, colorful, or made of carbon fiber

Remember that besides keeping the chassis stiffer, It also helps keep your suspension geometry true(r) by minimizing deflection. But they are just a small part of the suspension as a whole.

I'm not running one in the front. Mostly cause of some clearance problems with the TMIC. I'd use the 2 part hardened foam to fill the cars frame and rocker panels. I've used it in the past and loved the results. I've already got a kit of it waiting to go into the RS-T.

Its a two part chemical foam. One is the standard type of foam like used in packing material and the other chemical is a special hardening chemical that allows the foam to expland and harden in when its in an enclosed space. After its in the car its not going anywhere. It stiffens the cars frame up and takes out alot of the body flex.

The amount of weight it added is so small its not worth attempting to measure. Its as light as standard spray foam only much harder. It also doesn't have a very long working time so once you start you had better work fast. Make sure you've got everything prepped before hand.
