Are you feeling the flex when pressing down hard on your brakes? Would you like an easy solution to improve brake feel and confidence when driving in demanding conditions? A brake master cylinder brace is a simple yet effective solution for this common problem. Learn more about this component and what to consider when buying aftermarket parts.
What Is Firewall Flex?
A brake master cylinder brace like this one will help improve brake feel in demanding driving conditions.
Firewall flex is the term for the bending or “flexing” of the metal panel separating the engine bay and passenger cabin when hard braking is applied. Due to the slight movement of the firewall and the master cylinder behind it, firewall flex often causes an inconsistent brake feel. Extreme cases may reduce braking efficiency and stress components next to the firewall.
This condition is less of an issue for everyday driving, but when you’re operating in more demanding conditions on the track or street, firewall flex can be a nuisance. It causes a vague feeling in the brake pedal and may eventually impact driver confidence. This is where a brake master cylinder brace comes in.
