I don't know if the video has been covered here but it is quite obvious that the master booster brake really moves alot. Here is a video:

Wow!!!!

 

After a day of lapping of intensive braking, the firewall ... move 1/8''-3/8'' depending of the year of the civic.

EG:

 

Wow! At first I thought you were going to say that the booster was moving because the nuts under the dash were loose. The firewall is actually flexing! <-- Shocked. How much of a problem is it? Obviously most all the Hondas are going to do this.

 

In normal utilisation, it is not a problem

(daily drive)


Only in hard condition, situation (lapping, racing day)

Eg and EK are doing this....for the other i dont know but i presume.


After a day of lapping or racing, the brake pedal have a strange feeling for a day or two ....

The brace help...to prevent that , the pedal stay the same...all day long...

I know someone who's in the Touring series and has one of those. He claims that he can really brake a bit later and has great brake pedal feeling.

 

we have these braces in stock http://www.accountwizard.com/c...d=145 they help

 

Connect the BMC brace and post another video from the same angle. Most BMC braces just ranfer the flexing to the inner shock tower.....potentially leading to some minor alignment changes. It's been discussed in the rr-ax forums extensively.

Great add -0n for those who believed

 

I used to always think it was BS. Time to get myself a brace.
