Why do a video with a 'before' measurement but no 'after' measurement?! Hardly confidence inspiring! Looks like it should work though. Maybe not quite as stiff as the 'normal' one.

Seems a bit silly doesn't it. Maybe couldn't fit the DTI in after the brace is installed.

I do quite fancy one of these, even after fitting braided lines and ATE Blue fluid the brake pedal isn't quite how I would like it to be, next time I hit target I might treat myself and let you guys know how I find it.

Completely agree. Just fitted new disks and pads all round (yellow stuff) and used super blue with full system bleede. Still not happy with the pedal feel. I suspect the reason why no measurement 'after' is because the master cylinder physicall cannot more at all (it is braced in position so to speak).

Well I finally pulled the trigger and bought one of these LHT Performance master cylinder braces and the difference is very noticeable and very worth the price! I can take some pics when I get back, very easy to install and the brakes feel much better now. I upgraded the brake lines and ATE Blue fluid but still wasn't overjoyed with the feel, this is the missing piece to the puzzle for sure!

My car is a 2006 DBW car and I do not run a tower bar just yet.

The theory is to stop the sheet metal firewall flex. Has been on my list the past year. Other expenses have kept it on the list. Installation looks very simple.

Can you confirm that this fits a RHD car, as I have just contacted the guys at LHT and they cannot confirm if it fits? I am looking at the steel one, which "looks" as though you can just turn it upside down for the correct RHD orientation? Obviously the billet one definitely won't fit, as it has recessed mounting holes meaning it can only be fitted one way round.

I realise it is a long while ago, but did you take any pictures as stated?
