class=\"esp-lead\"\u003eMaster cylinder braces are a common upgrade to reduce brake booster \/ master cylinder deflection under sudden, hard braking conditions. This deflection occurs due to the thin firewall material that the brake booster bolts to actually flexing under sudden, hard braking. Our ECS Tuning Master Cylinder Brace was designed and engineered in-house to reduce this deflection which improves brake pedal response while adding confidence in your brake's hydraulic system. Our design requires no permanent modifications to the body. We do require trimming of the battery tray for proper fitment, however, the brace can be removed without adverse affects to fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.ecstuning.com\/product_library\/1684882_x800.jpg\" alt=\"MK7 Master Cylinder Brace\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"esp-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"esp-feat\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and engineered in-house using state of the art 3D laser scanning and CAD technology for precision fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured from 10 ga. cold rolled steel for superior structural strength in the limited space around the master cylinder and battery tray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowdercoated in a tough wrinkle black finish for corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUtilizes the closest chassis mounting points under the battery tray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSandwiches between the battery tray and battery tray mount.
