How long have you had it? Take it off and see if it feels different without it. I have the original model of these and it still works, every noticeable contrast between it being on and off of the car.

In the spirit of testing and confirmation I just did as you suggested (in the last 10 minutes) and here's no discernible difference in pedal feel with the brace connected, disconnected, reconnected. Pedal is firm is all cases. I did this with with the engine running so the power brake was connected. In the interest of full disclosure the calibration certificate of my right leg has not been verified by the laboratory.

Are you doing this with the car moving? My pedal is much, much firmer and more responsive now.

Driveway test with the engine running only. Will do an on-off-back on test later (maybe after work).

No fool, you need to drive it active on the road placing yourself in real-time situations

I have the same Master Cylinder brace and it makes a noticable difference to me.

You can actually measure with a ruler how far the master cylinder moves forward when you press the brake pedal without the brace--with the brace, there's zero movement.

It doesnt change the cars braking ability at all---just the pedal feel --- it feels firmer.

We gets a lot of cars shipping from other States and countries as they know and trust what we do and know we'll give our 100%.

Thanks for the kind words guys, it really means alot.

I've been on the fence about getting one of these but after reading this most recent review I've sent in my payment. Can't wait to get it!

Waiting for a few more reviews, was there really a huge difference in pedal feel under all driving conditions? Or only when you brake hard?
