Seriously..Who has a stillen master cylinder brake stiffener? And what are your thoughts on it? I don't have a BBK right now, its in the near future, but I want to gain some more brain feedback and response.

My best idea for you to get a better feel would b SS lines. The brake master cylinder stiffener honestly doesn't do a whole lot. Have someone step on your brakes while you look at the master cylinder and see how much it moves....if you can. I didn't really see any difference in movement.

my carbing strut bar from z1auto came with one, it did stiffen up the pedal feel. Not a big deal except for better modulated braking. Just my 2cents.

i do not think you guys are going to experience the kind of stress the
stiffener was designed to take just hitting pedal at idle or even daily
driiving, it is when you are on a racetrack barrelling into a brake zone
at about 125 coming down to 40 in a short distance with race pads
and you are shoving your foot through the floorboard to stop-that is
why i am considering one.

Oh alright, I figured more intense braking would move it more. Stillen's website says to do what I described and I didn't see much movement.
