*Help* How much should a master cylinder brace flex???



I feel like this is excessive flex? What's your opinion?

I don't have a brace to comment on, but have wanted one. Just curious, what's left to flex with it, the strut tower wall itself?

Kinda doubt you're going to get rid of 100% of flex. So is pedal feel better or not?

The arm that holds the stopper is what's flexing.

I dunno if it feels better yet. I'll push the brakes a bit maybe tomorrow or something. I just did new pads and rotors too so not sure hahahaha. I just thought there wasn't going to be flex like that.

1. You're trying to see what it's doing without vacuum pressure? Static tests are just that, static. Consider that.

2. 1-3mm of remaining flex is normal, 3mm being the maximum.

it removed like 95% of the flex, but yeah, still has a tiny tiny bit as you can see in the videos i posted (and a few others on youtube) from the brace/sidewall
