DIY Racer X Master Cylinder Brace + review

DIY Racer X Master Cylinder Brace + review
Tools:
10mm socket
13mm open wrench
#4 hex key
small flat head

Remove the plastic holding the fuel line together.










With a 10 mm socket remove the bolt holding the bracket.



Remove sticker.







Now you are ready to install the MCB.
Note where you are going to put the new bolts.







Make sure you re-install the bracket before putting in the bolts.







tighten both bolts down.




Adjust if needed.








Finished














Review:Installation was breeze. Install link here:[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdm24Jqiptg"]How to install Racer X Fabrication Master cylinder Brace BRZ FRS GT86 - YouTube[/ame]
The design is clean. Craftsmanship and finish is pretty much an art. In addition, the brace is very light weight because the brace is billet Aluminum. (for the people who do not know what billet Aluminum is…They start with one solid piece of aluminum and machine around it to make the shape / part)
Cost is priced the well compared to other MCB in the market. However, it has said before you get what you paid for. I believe that this master cylinder brace is the best money can buy.

Does it work?
With daily driving my test buddy could not even tell that I had anything done to it. However, with heavier / hard brakes YES! He was able to tell a positive difference and the pedal did feel more responsive.

Was it worth it?
Yes, at 89 may seem a lot, however if you compared that to two tank fill up here in Maryland 89 bucks is pretty much nothing. It was a clean, simple, and fun modification to do.

Nice review. I noticed mine right when I got on the brakes the first time. Even at low speed, light braking. It's a huge upgrade for such a small price. Well worth it, in my opinion.
