When braking hard, the master cylinder is capable of flexing in the firewall, reducing braking control. Reinforcing this area is key to making manageable and firm brake modulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Problem:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe OEM brake master cylinder bolts directly to the firewall. Being an unsupported piece of sheet metal and given the large amount of force exerted by the brake system, the master cylinder will actually move and flex under hard braking. This can cause unpredictable and poor pedal feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Solution:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis brace helps reinforce and redistribute the load on the master cylinder, which increases pedal feel, makes the braking system more consistent, as well as gives the driver more confidence. This brace went through several generations and prototypes to arrive at the unit you see. Extensive testing on closed roads and real-world mileage produced this final product that is quite noticeable under hard braking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStock without brace\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis video shows how the vehicle stops under hard braking WITHOUT the brace.
