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 while adding bling to your engine bay!

The Problem:

The oem brake master cylinder bolts directly to the firewall. being an unsupported piece oof 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. While this does not hurt stopping distance, it does 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 giving the driver more confidence. This brace went through several generations and prototypes to arrive at the unit you see. Extensive design in Solidworks as well as testing on closed roads and real world mileage allowed me to produce a product that I am extremely proud of.

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.



-Billet 6061 Aluminum

-Hand tig welded

-Light weight

-Increased pedal feel

-More consistent braking and pedal modulation

-Works best with a TB Performance Products Strut Bar. If you are using the oem strut tower brace, you will need to remove the bar to make this work. I highly suggest running my strut bar in combination with this brace.

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

Does as it says

Made the brake pedal very predictable and made me feel more confident on the track. If you don't plan on using your cowl again (like if u install the front strut bar too), just cut the edge of the cowl off so you don't have to bother taking the wiper blades off.

Easy install & noticeably firmer pedal feel

Installation was relatively straightforward and easy especially since all the holes lined up at the mounting locations. I was a little flummoxed initially since there's a little lip on the sheet metal for the sandwich plate, but that was definitely a "me" problem not a design one. The hardest part of the process was getting my wipers to line up after reinstalling lol
