Genuine CUSCO master cylinder reinforcement brace for MY02 through MY04. Not yet tested on MY05 models. Supposed to be a simple install compared with the MRT bracket.

I've ordered one because I've seen how much the Impreza firewall can flex when pushing on the brake pedal. That makes for an inconsistent brake pedal 'feel' under hard braking, not to mention a gradual weakening of that area of the firewall over time.

damn me having a 05 !!

 

I looked at it, but it's pretty expensive considering the MRT one is only $50. I still have that thing sitting in my garage as I didn't want to bother with it on the STi. It just didn't make any noticeable difference on my WRX.

 

I am not sure I have heard anyone say they have felt a difference for as much of a pain it is to put it on

 

Exactly. Although the Cusco one looks to be easier to install.

 

get one mike and then report back to us

 

I still have the MRT one. Functionally, it is the same as the Cusco.

How about you buy the bracket for me and I'll evaluate it for you.

 

hmm.. I don't see it right away, but I think there is a flaw with your plan.. let me think about it some more and I will let you know !

 

Well you wanna sell the mrt one to me?

 

It's a pain to install on the 02/03 since it was designed for the 01's and their slightly different body style. The bolt holes don't line up with the existing holes in the strut tower and you basically have to tweak the sheetmetal to make it work.

 

Just trust me.

 

the Cusco might be a good option then..

 

I trust your opinion, well maybe, you ever fix that gas tank

 

That must be why my gas mileage sucks! Doh!

 

haha.. thats messed up
