Get rid of that squishy brake pedal and increase pedal feel with this easy to install brake master cylinder brace! 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.

The Problem:

The 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.

The Solution:

This 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.

Stock without brace

This video shows how the vehicle stops under hard braking WITHOUT the brace. Listen to how hard the driver is fighting for traction from the beginning.


With the TB Performance Products Brake Master Cylinder Brace

This video shows how the vehicle stops under the same hard braking WITH the brace. Listen to how the driver is able to control the traction threshold of the tires easier and modulate the brakes much more effectively. This video was shot within 15 min of the first video so all conditions were the same.

Haven't installed it yet, but the quality and craftsmanship is superb. I can't wait to install it, except this particular upgrade is supposedly a PITA. Worth it, but still a pain. I've ordered from TB before, and everything they make is top tier quality. Good welds, thick steel, nice coatings... I totally recommend anything from them.

Great item, was not aware of the weak support. This should help with hard braking on the track.

well made, hard to install

Was very difficult to install - would not just slide over the single stud as in the instructions. Part was well made and is noticeable once it is installed though
