Improved Brake Performance (BRZ, STI, WRX) Radium Master Cylinder Brace
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 фев 2020
- This is literally the first modification I do to any Subaru. Stiffing up the Master Cylinder brace gives amazing driver feedback with the brake pedal feel as it stiffens up the master cylinder to the firewall. BRZs, STIs and WRXs all have a weak firewall and they tend to flex whenever the brake pedal is pressed.

Great video. I'm a fan of Radium. I did the top feed conversion on my 05 sti with radium rails, lines, fpr, pressure gauge, direct mount dampers, and relocated the fuel filter from the tank to the engine bay with a radium. After watching this video i searched their site and it looks like they have a master cylinder brace for the older subarus that is compatible with a fuel filter bracket. I thank you sir, your video has led me to my next mod.
This is actually the first Radium part I've ever used and I'm a big fan of the git, finish and quality. Will definitely be using some of their parts more often now 🔥
Good looking out! This one I'll get and install it.
Well worth the $80 🔥🙌
I put the Radium Master Cylinder brace in my '15 STi, the BRZ is a simpler install. As mentioned in many install, those fuel lines are so in the way! Their parts are excellent quality. Well Done!
First time using Radium parts are really impressed with their quality!
Great personality man, glad I found your channel.
Appreciate the support! Feel free to reach out with any questions!
you're the only dude who instealled and actually tested it out. everybody straight ends their video right after they install smh
Have one on my new brz as well, fantastic little braces 🔥
I got my wrx in January installed the rally armor flaps and found that good old oem internal dirt as well about the same size pile too lol keep up the great work!
Gotta keep em clean lol appreciate the feedback and support 🔥
first TJ with the C8 concept now smeedia with the quality content 🔥🔥
Eyyyy appreciate the love 😍🙌🔥
Glad you made this video. I was looking into the Radium Engineering brand. But will go will them now. Thanks
🔥🔥🔥🔥 worth it!
Thanks for the videos man. I am new to the Subie community and your videos and advice are a huge help
Appreciate all the support and glad that they are helping!
just bought a frs yesterday, just found your channel!!!! its a good day haha
Euyyy, congrats on the car!!! 😁😁😁
All these BRZ vids 😍
Told ya they were coming 😁🔥
Need this for my STi, the brakes are way too squishy boi for me, love the channel 👌🏻
Appreciate the support, this will definitely help with the squish. Very noticable on the STI when I installed it on there as well
Its a very noticeable change, I went SS brake lines first then the BMC stopper and the first drive instantly notice the difference
Just picked it up, gonna install on Friday, thanks for the info!
My bugeye brake's wouldn't stop a medi chair then I swapped to Brembos ss lines and brace ..... nearly went through the windshield ! Nice vid !
Appreciate the support, and glad the brakes got sorted out 😅
Have you done a banjo bolt video? If not that's a good idea. How to replace one, where it is, and for others interested how to remove the filter within
I want the sticker. No need for the brace...
I did the Torque Solution brake master cylinder brace for my 2020 WRX. What a great upgrade!
I also have the TS steering dampner Lock Out braces. (Not a thing for the STi, only the cars with the electric steering racks. Maybe for the BRZ?)
And I bought a set of Goodridge SS braided brake lines and some Motul DOT 5.1 fluid. If that doesn't fix the not great brake feel in my WRX, then the next purchase is a set of Brembo calipers in boi racer Red!
Maybe black, not sure.
Love your show man!
It's one of my favorite upgrades to do! Super simple and immediate results on braking feel. I did the SS lines in the STI and they helped to stiffen up the brakes a little more and they're pretty solid. That should make a solid difference, brembos would be nice if you snagged some! And the support is greatly appreciated! 😁
Oooooooooooo. New fav chan. Always look to RUclips first for diy help. Great splainins
Appreciate the support! All about DIY goodness 🔥🔥🔥
Love.This.Channel.
Appreciate the love 🔥🙌🔥
Make sure when you wire your fog lights that you put a relay and fuse in. That way you only use the headlight power as a switching signal to turn on the fog lights. Main power to the fog lights should be on a separate circuit usually from the battery directly or an open optional accessory in your fuse box. This is to protect your car from fires and accidentally overloading circuits such as your main headlight circuit.
Ended up wiring it to a different power source but it is ran independent from the headlights. Used the OE fender light harnesses and re directed power to the fogs from the marker lights. Both LED so drawing low power
Man you are so weird lol thank you for all the install videos that you always put out. Keep doing it
I'm a pretty odd dude... lol but refuarless appreciate the support and a lot more coming 🔥
@@Smeedia to be honest I found your channel completely by accident I was looking for something else. But you always keep things interesting and you're not a professional so it gives me as also a non-professional a good insight as to what I may or may not need and if I make a mistake how to fix it on the home front so I greatly appreciate it
Should take it in for a Subaru rust proofing, had my RA done before picking it up and was actually there to watch the process. They insert very narrow rod type sprayers into the rails and give it that great anti "shmoo" coating.
Not a bad idea, going to see if I can find a DIY kit for that 😅
@@Smeedia Please make a video if you get one!
@@HavokStrifeX you know I will! 🔥
@@Smeedia the rods they used were like the length of the frame rails with like sprinkler style openings to spray the coating. Not sure how you could replicate that at home, the whole process was only 300 Canadian so was for sure worth it getting them to do it when they did my undercoating.
Need to hire a ninja with incredibly tiny hands to do this on my 2011 WRX. Jesus it’s infuriating! My wife couldn’t do it with her much smaller than my normal hand size. The line coming off the brake booster is right in the way of getting a wrench or socket on the first small bolt to install.
All of those bolts are awful to get in there, end up getting it installed?
@@Smeedia not yet! need to tap the holes first but I can't even get a tap or the bolt into position (even without the bracket in the way!) I'm wondering if my brake booster line is bent out of shape or something!?
It’s called a strut tower. But I’m definitely buying that today. Looks great
Well worth it my man! 🙏
Smeedia yooooo just saw your info on your channel, I’m legit 5 min. From meridean! Nice man. Do you go to 86 sessions?
I haven't gone to one yet but have wanted to 🙏😁 never know when they're going on 😅
Smeedia add me on Facebook @ josh poe and I’ll send you an invite to the group. It’s once a month
Was just thinking about looking these up today lol
Well worth the monies! Brakes feel so much better after that!
@@Smeedia I'm gonna do the whole braking system. Slowing down at 100+ mph is sketchy and constantly hard braking between 40-80 mph when I was hitting the twisties wasnt good enough for me .
@@P3lonchis totally understandable, brakes, suspension and drivetrain are my main focused before power.
@@Smeedia same here, especially for the type of driving I like to do. There is a stretch of road in monroe, this weekend I set my base time of about 8 min 30 seconds, on wet condition. I want to try and hit 7 min. on dry warm weather
High temp brake fluid, DOT4 or DOT 5.1 and upgraded pads should do the trick. Hawk HP plus or 5.0 are going on my car soon.
Haha you said in and out with lubricant. 🤣 okay, I’m done. *matureness intensifies*
Lol I can never help the dirty innuendos 🥰
🤣
glad to hear that mystery wire is an ez fix.
Oh just wait until the next video is worse than you'd think 😅
Smeedia noooo!! Lol
The schmooze was in the fender well, not frame rail. The master cylinder brack bolts to the strut tower, not fender well. Not trying to be an ass, just trying to help with the lingo.
Get lost in the sauce when filming sometimes 😅
Damn it, now i need to buy one for my ST....lol
Yassss, I'm curious if they make them for the ST 🤔
TBPerformance makes one for the Focus ST, just gotta pull the battery, battery tray and bolt to fire wall. From what I hear it helps pretty well. Then might pare it up with Damond motorworks brake bushings.
Almost thought you found a bird nest in there. Lol
Lmao it about looked like it 🤣
After installing , i got really bad brake vibration and noises . Help?
Possible you over tightened the brace 🙏
You looking to offload those flaps? 👀 (assuming they’re white lettering)
Silver lettering and someone already snagged them 😅
fog lights working from a plug in is a sign of this cars going to be problem for you lol
Oh god wait until Thursdays video, pulled so many useless wires 🤣
@@Smeedia never good when the past owner was a hack
Strut tower lmao
Would this help for better stopping on icy roads?
It would give you better feedback as the driver of what the brakes are doing. But tires are still the best bet for ice
Nope. It stiffens the pedal feel by reducing flex when you push hard. There is no measurable performance gain, but a stiffer pedal can improve your confidence.
Under normal driving you Likley won't notice much of a difference.
I've had mine installed for 6+ months.
👍🏻
Could this be used on the 2020 Forester? 🤷🏽♂️
I believe they make one, I would check rally sports website to see if they carry one 😁
@@Smeedia S)(OOTS bro your response time is epic! Want to do the bracket if they have and braided lines. Thanks again! 🙏🏽
@@carlostorres5135 both are well worth it! And I try to get back to everyone as quick as I can 😅 sometimes it takes longer lol
Hahaha. I just bought this today
Worth itttttt
Pads and rotors have 50k miles aren’t worn out and haven’t been replaced neglected maintenance? Replacing parts that don’t need to be replaced is not maintenance.
You can have pads and rotors wear at 20K miles all depends on how the owner drove the car. These ones were trash when I pulled them off thr car. Pads were almost gone and the rotors were warped
Fog lights are for when it's foggy don't be one of those guys who runs around with fog lights on all the time.
Until I get the nee fog lights they'll be on eith the running lights, but the running lights are only ever on with the headlights, free alternative for the time being
@@Smeedia Fair enough, Fog lights don't have the same cut-off that the headlights will so you get a lot of glare. I'm probably just triggered because I live in an area where everyone has a big 4x4 because they're a farmer or they're drillers/riggers. All of them seem to have them on all the time. and it's blinding. BRZ height probably isn't going to have the same effect.
OOoooooOo
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YEAH
