Stillen's Master Cylinder brace?
Has anyone bought Stillen's Master Cylinder brace? The idea sounds good. I was wondering what the experience has been with this part.

Almost every vehicle [across the board] has a flexy firewall [to save weight/cost] which shows up in braking performance when you exert 100 lb/ft on the brake pedal.
Unfortunately something the factory could fix for a few dollars in the design.
The multiplier of adding $2 at the factory ends up adding $100 to MSRP.

I bought it when it first came out.At the time they said it was for the G and Z,they had the same part #.Well the G and the Z mount differently.So I made my own mounting bracket.Now they have 2 different part #'s,I have never seen their bracket for the G,on their website the pic shown on the G application is the Z bracket.On hard braking it is stiffer,more positive feel.It does do what they say it is suppose to do,just make sure you get the right bracket.

I have thought about it.But there is a plastic cup that goes up against the master cylinder to hold the rod in place.Which seems to be the best way to do it.To get a mold made is expensive.Unfortunatly I do not have the resources Stillen has.To even think about getting a mold made you would have to have about 100 confirmed sales.

If you do get it, I would love to hear your comments.

You have this? Tell me how much improvement in pedal feel there is! I just upgraded my front brakes to a Wilwood BBK with SS brake lines, rears upgraded with Stillen slotted rotors, metal matrix pads and StopTech SS rear brake lines. This set up is a vast improvement over stock, but the pedal could be alot firmer with the brace?
