Under heavy braking the brake master cylinder and firewall on your Honda Civic can flex.
The pressure from your foot pressing hard on the brake pedal can lead to some uninspiring feedback and reduce your confidence when diving hard into a corner on the track or in an emergency braking situation where you need to come to stop as quickly as possible.
The 27WON FSTB Brake Brace is designed to eliminate the flexing and movement of your brake master cylinderand help decrease the time for brake pad engagement. Get a proper track like feel and some extra confidence into your Civic braking system.
OurFront Strut Tower Baris already packed with features that make it the best FSTB for your CivicX. In order to truly REDEFINE the Aftermarket we needed to take it to the next level. Our Brake Brace upgrade capitalizes on the strength of our bar and ups the ante by improving brake pedal feel as well.
This is a simple bolt on upgrade that can easily beinstalled and adjusted in a matter of minutes.
Each Brake Brace is made fromsolid one piece billet aluminum and gets a stealth black powder coat finish.As with everything you get from 27WON, all the hardware you need is included.
What is a master cylinder Brake Brace and what does it do?
The master cylinder on your car is a cast metal piece with a reservoir on top full of brake fluid. Its purpose is to take the fluid from its reservoir and send that fluid/pressure to the 4 corners of your car to act on the brake calipers and help slow down the car. This master cylinder has a mechanical link to your brake pedal and receives the pressure you generate when you step on the pedal.
Sadly the master cylinder is attached to your firewall (a very thin section of metal the separates the driver from the engine bay) andit has a tendency to flex and move a lot when you are hard on your pedal. This can result in a delay in pad engagement and poor driver feedback.
OurBrake Brace attaches to your 27WON FSTB barwith two simple bolts and acts as a hard stop for the master cylinder. This gives a counter force to the cylinder and eliminates flex from the firewall. With the brace installed, some of the energy that went to flexing the firewall now helpsincrease brake engagement and driver feedback.

Install is pretty straightforward
Both the quality and fitment of the part are on par with what you would expect from this company.
NVH increase over the oem mount is barely noticeable, there is a very minor vibration that is felt at idle but once driving you dont feel it at all.
The engine feels much more stable under wot now and to top it off the part looks good too
Opting for the 2-step performance shipping protection was an absolute no-brainer. When investing in high-end components, the transit phase can often introduce unnecessary anxiety. This service effectively mitigates that risk, offering complete peace of mind and transforming what is usually a stressful waiting period into a seamless, secure experience.
I ordered the red one for the 11th gen Civic SI. Well packaged and came with a Wunderladen sticker. This is a big upgrade over the cheap plastic orange dipstick that came with the car. Its worth the money to be able to reliably read your oil level, especially on a direct injected turbo car.
