Best bang for the buck is turn in concepts it's only $60, doesn't have the cool logo but it works just fine.
I do like the Perrin designed one though but can't say for sure it would fit on an auto. Maybe they can confirm for the auto guys? |

I have a Perrin and the thing is wayyyy overbuilt. It's fairly heavy but is a very nice piece. I do like the red bolt cap on the Grimmspeed though. You can't go wrong either way. Both will get the job done.

Got a $60 beatrush brace. Buy the cheapest one you can or the one that suits your engine bay best. Functionally there should be little difference

It prevents the master cylinder from moving when the firewall flexes under hard braking or something to that effect. I didn't have a problem with pedal feel stock but i guess it's a little better.
It was before they were a vendor here, so many people had already signed up for the Grimmspeed one too. |

i was debating getting one of these, but i'd like to hear from people who have one if they actually notice a difference.
like how hard do you need to push that pedal to actually flex the firewall? in normal driving does it improve anything?
