Description
Under hard braking, the firewall will actually deform, allowing the brake pedal, booster and master cylinder to move. Yes, even on the ND Miatas. This flex takes away some of your brake pedal stiffness and makes it more difficult to balance the car on the edge of lockup because there's essentially a big spring in the system. You'll find your braking will be more precise and will require less pedal travel.
This simple brace bolts into your Miata and keeps the master cylinder right where it's supposed to be. It's adjustable for a perfect fit. At under two pounds, the brace is able to reduce firewall deflection by 85% under heavy braking.
For left-hand drive cars only! Compatible with factory shock tower braces. It is not compatible with the Fiat 124 Spyder as it interferes with the coolant bottle.
Cars equipped with our CAN integration kit for the Hush-o-Matic exhaust that came with a short (2" long) solenoid mounting bracket will require the new, longer (3" long) bracket. That can be purchased separately (will be available shortly).

I haven’t actually driven the car with this brace installed yet, but I’ll write a review anyway.
Installed but not driven because this is on a pretty long term project car. Car is a 2019 ND2 GT. Many mods.
Many “improvements”. But back to the brace. This thing is a piece of metal art. Way overbuilt. No way it can’t do what it is supposed to do. Installation was simple. Fender liners were out so it only took a few minutes. The brace bolts to a very sturdy part of the car so I expect nothing but great results.
High quality product
Very well-built and the finish is great. Very easy install as well, but you will most likely have to remove the clips for the fender well to get to it. But it was no big deal.
This fits nicely, but it occupies the same space as the Mishimoto catch can. I'm going to have to figure out a new mounting method for that now.
The piece itself looks well-built. Maybe a bit overdone, but it should make a bit of difference in hard braking, and in keeping the firewall from flexing under heavy use and over time. Time will tell!
