Stop the Flex, 11th Gen Civic Brake Brace Released

27WON is happy to announce the release of our Master Cylinder Brake Brace for the 2022+ 11th generation of Honda Civics. The master cylinder brake brace is an add-on for our popular Front Strut Tower Bar (FSTB) that is designed to help improve brake pedal feedback and driving impressions.

Brake Brace with 27WON “W'“ logo

Made from one-piece billet Aluminum and machined to precise specs, this brake brace is a rigid support for your brake master cylinder. Now you might be wondering what exactly this part does and how it works? Allow us to explain.

The Brake Brace Foot Set Against the Master Cylinder

If you pop the hood of your Civic and have a friend slam really hard on the brake pedal a bunch of times while you are looking at the brake master cylinder reservoir (the clear plastic thing holding the brake fluid) you will see that it moves when your homie hits the pedal, like a lot. That whole assembly is moving a bunch because it is attached to some rather thin metal. When you are racing and pushing hard on that pedal or trying to make an emergency stop that extra movement is not desired. Any energy spent to flex the master cylinder is energy and time not being used to engage the brake pads and ultimately slow the car down.

The Brake Master Cylinder Brace In Action

This curved piece of metal attaches to our FSTB and acts as a doorstop for the master cylinder. The metal foot locks up against the master cylinder and restricts it from moving. Ultimately you get a more sturdy pedal and better feedback.

The option of a Brake Brace is something you won’t see on any other Front Strut Tower Bar out on the market. That’s a shame since it's a good idea, another way we REDEFINE the Aftermarket. 

Check out this video we made for the 10th gen application that will clarify how this brace performs.

And remember, this brace will ONLY work with the 27WON FSTB.

Braces are available now and ready to ship.
