The GRMGRM091038 GrimmSpeed Master Cylinder Brace addresses this directly with a CNC laser cut 12L14 steel bracket that uses four strut tower mounting points, more than any competing brace. Owners who install the GRMGRM091038 often describe the pedal improvement as comparable to upgrading to stainless steel braided brake lines. No cutting or permanent modification is needed, and the black powder coated finish is built to last well beyond the life of a typical brake line upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC laser cut 12L14 steel construction with multi point welded fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTies into 4 strut tower mounting points for maximum rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge diameter pressure cup protects the master cylinder from marring or damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple Allen key locking mechanism for easy adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack powder coated finish for long term durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo cutting or modification of stock components required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment Table\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2013-2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSubaru\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBRZ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2013-2016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFR-S\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGRMGRM091038\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published by manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12L14 Carbon Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack Powder Coat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting Points\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 strut tower mounting points\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrive Configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeft hand drive only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrimmSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 CNC laser cut master cylinder brace bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded pressure rod and machined pressure cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware and Allen key locking hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout GrimmSpeed\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrimmSpeed started as a small garage operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2006 and has grown into one of the most trusted names in performance parts.
