Brake master flex

[Nismovs]

I'm going to be ordering a little gift for my car and figured the master cylinder brace would be a nice touch. My question is which one is better? There is the the flat bar brace that goes on the fender well, but I just saw the heavy duty turnbuckle on czp. Which would you guys go with? First hand experience is wanted

Merry Christmas to all

Merry Christmas buddy!
I don't have experience with either, but could you post links to both so I could check them out? I'm interested in seeing the theory behind them.

I have one like the one in the first link from Z1 and have been very happy with it.

Merry Xmas man!

Alot of people have the first linked one. It has very good reviews.

I have the first one, its great, the second looks overkill. If i were that worried about flex id pull the master and booster and weld reinforcements to the fire wall. But its not needed, sometimes simple is best.

Thanks guys. I was leaning towards the 300 degree brace(first one), but wasn't sure since the czp one is only $6 more. Maybe I'll order the turnbuckle one and give a review of it. I can always fab the 300 degree one myself at my shop

If you have some fab skills i would make your own that also put's a piece of metal over the top of the bmc as it flex's not just out but also up some. There is a link to what I am talking about on 3zc but you would have to be a member to see it.

Just got back from my car and did some flex measurements. outward flex under very hard braking was 3/16-1/4. I couldn't really see and upward movement from it. I went ahead and ordered the turnbuckle style just to get a first hand on how it performs and if I"m not happy then I'll fab my own up. When I get it I'll post a review of it and put up before and after measurements

anyone have a pic of this thing installed? i put one in my Z last summer and there's about a 1/4" gap between the brace and the cylinder? i thought it was supposed to be touching it, and no matter how i installed the damn piece it doesn't look right...

edit: apparently some of these braces come with a bolt that you twist out to contact the cylinder, but mine doesn't have one, i'm going to ditch it and order a new one for spring from somewhere else

Where did you buy yours from? Right now czp has no shipping costs, getting the 300 degree one from them would be a good idea. That or you just go to a hardware store and find the right size bolt and some foam to put on the end of the bolt

i'm also in canada though, i get raped for shipping because nobody is this entire country specializes in Z merchandise like czp, z1, etc

edit: oh hey you're in BC ? nice to see another canadian eh!

of course mine is RHD so the price is $45 *lol* screw it, i'll just modify the one i have, maybe try to drill and tap it, put in my own bolt

[Nismovs]

Oh yeah, rhd versions are stupid with pricing. And luckily I'm close to the border so I have everything shipped to a business that is like a transfer station. pay $5 bucks and save on shipping and drive it over yourself
