This Perrin master cylinder support brace is a must - have upgrade for your Subaru. It fits 2002 - 2007 Subaru WRX, 2004 - 2007 Subaru STI, and 2004 - 2007 Subaru Forester XT. With a 6061 T6 aluminum body anodized in black, it's durable and stylish. This brace increases brake pedal stiffness and response, preventing unwanted master cylinder movement. The stock setup often fails to support the master cylinder and brake booster properly. When you press the pedal, they bend away, and the sheet metal can fatigue over time. The Perrin brace, however, bolts to the driver - side shock tower. It creates tension opposite the brake pedal, eliminating pendulum - like motion. Installation is of intermediate effort and takes about 2 hours. You'll get a 5 - year manufacturer warranty. Inside the box, you'll find a master cylinder brace, socket set cup, jam nut, fin hex nut, flat washers, button head socket cap screws, fender washer, and hex keys, along with warranty and instructions. It gives you a firmer pedal feel without risking damage to the firewall, making it a popular choice.
Using this Perrin master cylinder support brace is easy. First, gather all the parts from the box. Make sure you have everything before you start. It takes about 2 hours to install, and it's of intermediate difficulty. So, if you're handy with tools, you should be able to do it on your own. Just follow the included instructions carefully. When you install it, bolt it to the driver - side shock tower as directed. This will create the right tension on the master cylinder. Once installed, you'll notice an immediate improvement in your brake pedal feel. As for maintenance, there's not much you need to do. The anodized black finish on the 6061 T6 aluminum body helps protect it from corrosion. Just keep it clean and check the bolts from time to time to make sure they're tight. If you have any issues, the 5 - year manufacturer warranty has you covered.
