Rennline Strut brace- 1 bar, 2 bar, or 3 point?
Which of these would you buy for a street car?

You probably don't need either in a street car, but if you're gonna have a strut brace, you should also have monoballs, or you're sort of defeating the purpose. Here's the route I took as shown in this thread:

I have one in both my P-cars and I felt like it made a difference. Anyways, for a street car all you'd need is one bar. 2 or 3 bars would be overkill IMO.

If you buy a one bar, you can always upgrade it later to a two or three bar. Rennline standardized its brackets for all three models (if you want to call them that)
I have a two-bar Rennline strut tower brace without monoballs and I've noticed a big difference during hard cornering.  -Matt

Wouldn't it be more noticeable on a non-"stiffly-sprung" street car?

For coupes, doesn't make sense for street.
For targas and cabs, makes a big difference.

Since it didn’t cost anymore, I bought the two-bar set up. I discovered the two-bar set up makes cranking in additional negative camber a bit harder. You have to crank on one bar some. Then crank on the other bar some. Then back to the first bar...
