you tested one? know for a fact?

i recently had problems with my brakes and was watching as the techs pressed on the pedal... the master cyclinder moved out by almost 1/2" (maybe even more)!!! as the pedal was pressed down. that's a lot more than i would have ever imagined the firewall flexing. i never thought much about these mc stoppers, but if i could find one, i'd like to give it a try.

anyone make one for the s2000?

I've used one on my Integra, it made a difference. I don't know about an S2k-specific application though.

anyway, you can have a friend push on the brakes and see for yourself how much it moves. appears to be almost 1/2" in my car. so basically your foot pressure is going to moving the firewall instead of moving the brake.

yeah, i did a google, and all the ones out there are for rhd. saw one by Feels which seemed great since it didn't attach to the shock tower (and theoretically could mess with suspension geometry, though thinking about it probably not cause none of the arms attach in that area), but alas it's rhd. if only one of those new companies coming out (alloy craft, moddiction, etc.) would make one...

How come you dont ask on the UK forum jonner?

They stop flex and only help on the limits, i.e very harsh/sudden braking.

And yes i do have one.

Alloy craft would be intrested in producing these, I took a look at my car last night, there is quite a bit of stuff in the way on left hand drive cars. I will throw together some ideas and post some pictures. Any suggestions would be apreciated. thanks guys.
