quote from their site:
"Under heavy braking, the master cylinder can move up to 1 inch, which can lead to inconsistent pedal feel. By creating a rigid brace as part of the strut bar mounting plate, this movement is eliminated."
that's interesting... any truth in this? interested to know!

No it's not 1" of movement. We measured it with a dial indicator with someone standing as hard as they could on the brakes and the end of the master cylinder moved about 1/8" of an inch (.125") We made a brace that integrates with our battery tray and it reduced teh movement to only .030" .

i installed my brace serperate from installing my ss lines and i would say it is noticeable during a quick hard stomp on the pedal. not nearly as much as when i installed the lines but you can feel it.
