My guess is nil. The coilover shocks on the Miata only
take vertical load from the springs, not lateral loads
as a strut would. Of course the same was allegedly
true of the first Mustangs, and the Shelby Monte Carlo
brace was known to help there.
It is not possible to get ABS on a Miata with no P/S.
The power steering is RPM based and not vehicle speed
AFAIK. I actually managed to outdrive the power
steering at McKamey Phase 2 in Miserable Wells this
weekend, but that is designed to be the Slalom of Death
anyway.

Heh heh...the Brit in me was picturing the windshield.
I was thinking "sure, a Bernz-O-Matic can remove
whatever you like?" :)
