The GRMGRM091019 GrimmSpeed Master Cylinder Brace was engineered to eliminate that flex with a CNC laser cut 12L14 steel bracket that ties into five factory mounting points, more than any other brace on the market. Drivers who install the GRMGRM091019 often compare the improvement in pedal firmness to switching to stainless steel braided brake lines. No cutting or modification of stock components is required, and the black powder coated finish holds up to years of track and street use.\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 5 factory 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\u003e2003-2006\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMitsubishi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLancer Evolution\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\u003eGRMGRM091019\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\u003e5 factory mounting points\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation Hardware Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\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 Subaru and Mitsubishi performance.
