I understand your point and concern about the metric delta braces.
GM Won't spend a penny more than they have to it seems.
However...
I have beaten the snot out of a few of these cars with the front braces removed for over 10 years, and can honestly say, the rear spring perches will bend, or the rear frame rails will rot out long before the engine cradle suffers permanant damage.
I'll try and find pictures of the bent rear perches. In my opinion, they should have braced that area better.
