Ralliart is the first to come up with this for EVO

 

My buddy Joey B had the pre-production unit on his car for a while and reported a solid improvement on pressure and feel.

 

That Ralliart piece looks nice but it looks to be setup for a RHD car. Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is that indeed the case!?

 

^When you look at the small, inset photo, that one looks like it's for the Left Hand side...I hope that was the case!

 

Nope, look again at the installed pic and you'll see it's the same product as the second pic

 

^Correct, I think whats confusing/ misleading is that the Ralliart sticker is on the front in the top picture and the side in the bottom photo...

 

.040" is just over 1/32", not much. I couldn't imagine being able to feel this from the driver's seat!

 

Grimmspeed piece is very nice, but just like mentioned above, I am not a fan of having anything between the strut bar & tower.

 

Have someone apply the brakes while you look under the hood at the MC. If it's anything like mine you'll easily see movement. I didn't measure how much it was, but I would think it was more than 1/32" considering how noticeable it was.

 

I seem to remember watching a video and it was as you described. It has to be more than 1/32" you could see the whole firewall flex.

 

The carbing strut brace also has a master cylinder stopper built in, quality kit.

 

That movement is measured at the MC. It will be greater at the end of the pedal. Keep that in mind.

 

Can you explain that in more detail. I read the same thing from another car forum that he measured .040 at the MC but noted that the actual movement at the pedal was triple the .040

 

Imagine the firewall flex point as a pivot point. And the master cylinder and pedal as 2 different levers attached to that pivot point. The MC is a shorter lever than the much longer pedal. (Distance from the pivot to measuring point ie pedal pad and point of measurement on the MC). Movement at the pivot will be exaggerated the longer the lever. So in theory, or how I see it, the MC lever is significantly shorter or closer to the pivot(firewall) than the pedal lever, and that extra distance will exaggerate the movement that much more than where it is physically being measured at the MC (shorter lever). I'm a visual learner and teacher, hard to do this in text. Hope I made sense. Lol. There is forward movement and rotational movement when applying the brake.

Or I might be completely wrong. Haha

 

If that desc doesn't drive you to drinking, I dunno what will
