I was wondering if it'll be worth it for me to get the cusco front strut tower bar that has the built in brake master cyl brace?? Will I notice any improvement in braking performance?

I think its worth it.

But may be we can get just the end (the one with the brace) of the strut bar for those who already have a cusco strut bar.

Maybe Adam can comment of this.

Carbing makes a product like this already.

 

but it costs like $430

 

And worth every penny.

 

Weapon-R makes a MC brace that you can use with any STB. I bought it because I don't want to get rid of my Cusco TI but there is definite flexing my friend noticed when I was pumping the brakes to try and get an air bubble out. I haven't installed it yet, but it should work just the same as the ones posted.

 

not sure if this will help you but here is a link i could quickly find with somewhat usefull info https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...er+brake+brace

 

Yeah, WeaponR stuff is only so-so at best. But this is a simple piece that is just a support bracket with a bolt to hold the master cylinder down... not something like an intake manifold. It's not a super pretty piece, but for where it goes and how much it costs, I'm not too bummed - besides, I have the fancy shmancy titanium stb to impress the ladies

 

So is it worth it to spend the extra money to get the cusco with the master cylinder brace?
What kind of difference do you feel with this against a regular strut bar?

 

Old thread of mine, but the answer is Yes, its worth it to get the Cusco bar with built in MCB IMHO......

I noticed a difference right away...

 

Yea because i was originally going to get the gtspec strut bar but then came across this...what kind of difference was felt? thanks

 

firmer brake pedal feel, less mushiness

 

I think it's worth it. The strut is like usually 250 but think of it like this. Strut and a ralliart master brake cylinder stopper for 280. so 250 + 280 = 530. You're saving time and money with the Cusco!! GO FOR IT!

 

I think this may be my next purchase!

 

rallyart master cylinder stopper for $280?!?!? jesus, must be made of platinum. Weapon R is $120 retail, $80 with any good deal.
