GrimmSpeed Master Cylinder Brace
Scion FR-S 2013-2016 / Subaru BRZ 2013+ / Toyota 86 2017+
Product Resources
Features & Product Details
This is the Grimmspeed Master Cylinder Brace that has been designed to reinforce as well as reduce the flex between the brake booster, and the firewall. Under braking, your firewall will flex, which over time can cause damage to the integrity of the firewall and decrease the performance in your braking. This is especially crucial for those of you who participate in high-performance driving conditions where heavy and aggressive braking is natural.
Grimmspeed engineered a solution which is their Master Cylinder Brace which has been designed with the most bracket mounting points available when compared to other aftermarket master cylinder braces. This bracket features CNC Laser Cut 12L14 with multi-point welded fabrication designed with multi-factory mounting points. It is then powder-coated in a durable black finish for extra protection against rust and corrosion.
Once installed, you get a highly-reinforced feeling with an immediate braking response. When combined with stainless steel brake lines then you get precise braking performance.
Hardware will be included to make this Master Cylinder Brace ready for the installation.

You're going to notice most often at stoplights in daily driving, but the harder you're pushing, the more this thing shows itself. It's not going to change stopping distance appreciably, but it will help you maintain fine control.
At first, I didn't feel much of a difference... I'm very easy on the brake most of the time, so driving around the neighborhood slowly after installation didn't yield any eye-popping sensations. I went out for a longer drive and immediately noticed the difference when slowing from 40 to 0 at a stop light - the difference is there, and it's more noticeable with heavier application of the brakes. Can't speak to their abilities on the track, but I can't see how it wouldn't hold up. It's an improvement and definitely enhances the feel, but don't expect it to stop you in half the time.
After seeing the videos of the amount of flex on the firewall, this is added piece of mind. I didn't feel any difference at all, at least on the street. I have yet to track the car. Great fitment, looks nice and its affordable.
For those who keep track of such things . . . GrimmSpeed's very nice MC brace weighs 11.5 oz.
I recently installed the GrimmSpeed Master Cylinder Brace. I wanted an alternative to the strut brace plus brace. Also I wanted a designed foot against the MC as opposed to a bolt head. Fitment during the installation was perfect. Enough flexibility in the bolt holes allowed a perfect alinement of the mounting hardware and the brace bracket. Instructions found on their website aided in the installation.
