Drive Master Cylinder Brake Brace - Removed and Sold |
|
Purchase Location:
Evasive Motorsports
Cost: $90 / Sold used for $65 Installation Date: August, 2003 Removal Date: August. 2003 This unit is very high quality – solid and well engineered design that fits perfect. You need to remove the strut tower bar for accessing this area. The simple instructions are easy to follow. It’s not too difficult to install, however it takes some dexterity to install the bolt right next to the brake fluid reservoir due lack of space. If you have the right tools you can do the install in about 15 minutes. Driving Impressions: You can defiantly feel a difference right away with even light to moderate breaking. What this means is that brake pedal travel is shorter and you’ll notice a stiffer feel. This brace does not allow the master cylinder to flex, period. Here’s the interesting part of the story. People who promote master cylinder braces say that the stiffer brake feel results in, “greatly improving brake feel and sensitivity”. My experience was just the opposite. The stiff pedal feel and (slightly) shorter pedal travel actually left me with less break feedback and what seemed like less control. The manufacturer actually claims that it will “reduced brake fade” too. I never thought it would do that and still can’t imagine that a brace could accomplish this task. I drove around for a couple days with this brace and came to the conclusion that I definitely prefer the feel without a master cylinder brace. I did not purchase this unit thinking it would actually improve breaking, but rather had the inclination that it may heighten my driving enjoyment and maybe improve brake control. This was not the case for me. Brake setup: Spoon Calipers / Axxis Ultimate Pads / Motul 600 Brake Fluid / Stock Brake Lines |
