Pressing Subaru brakes leaves a lot to be desired, especially when every inch counts in a race or when you are depending on them to save your life! The dramatic firewall flex is the source of this performance flaw in Subaru's that we came to solve. Skipping the "standard bracket" that others have been making we engineered the most simple to install and best performing master cylinder brace on the market. The GrimmSpeed Master Cylinder Brace takes a beating and comes back for more! Crafted from hardcore CNC laser cut 12L14 with multi-point welded fabrication. It is the Abrams Tank of master cylinder braces touting 4 factory mounting points, the most available from any brace. Powdercoated black this brace will outlive your car and win you some style points to boot. Most importantly this brace kit will kill your wimpy pedal feel and give you the immediate and tight response that your performance car deserves and needs when you hit the track or rally. This brace will give you the confidence similar to that of SS braided brake lines with precision stopping. Not to mention street driving just got a whole lot more fun!
The reinvention of heavy duty, it's what you can expect from GrimmSpeed
This is an example of the actual effect the GrimmSpeed brace has on a flexing master cylinder.
Only compatible with left-hand drive models.

"I finally resolved the spongy feel of the brake pedal in my 1997 Legacy station wagon! My family is very grateful to GrimmSpeed for making our car safe to drive anywhere from now on. I have noticed a significant improvement in brake response and I am truly impressed with the quality of the product. Greetings from Chile!"
"My first impression was how beefy it was the construction is solid, materials top notch, installation is so easy and the feel of your brakes afterwards no more firewall flex"
"Great quality part. Comes with all hardware needed for installation. Fit in my 98 legacy wagon ,with no problems. Makes a noticable difference in braking and clutch feel. Up to 10-15 % better response."
"This is a great addition to stiffening up the feel of the brake pedal. Even better if you throw this on with some steel brake lines."
"Improved brake pedal feel. Good feedback when applying the brakes. Lot better braking response and a quality part from Grimmspeed! Thanks for the parts from your company."
"Love it and recommend it.Had stainless braided lines already so i did not expect much difference. Boy was i wrong. It takes very little brake effort now."
"I have stainless braided brake lines and the pedal pressure was dramatically improved with the Grimm speed brace.It takes very little foot pressure to stop. Definitely recommend it.Wish i did it much sooner.Easy to install."
"Works on my 2004 Legacy Outback. Some of the holes aren't perfectly aligned but it does it's job perfectly. Noticeable increase in brake pedal stiffness and consistency. Definitely worth the money."
"Great product extremely happy with the build quality, improved pedal feel, and brake response. Shipping was very fast and overall couldn't be happier with my purchase"
"I had some improvement with a similar brace on my Forester. So I tried this one on my wife's WRX, and WOW! Excellent, linear, progressive braking now. Big improvement! Now admittedly, this was also done with fresh brake fluid, new Hawk hp5.0 pads, and new rotors, so other factors likely helping also. Now this car has a better brake feel than even my old BMW M5."
