I decided to install my Grimmspeed brace today, and this actually WAS as easy as they say. The only problem I ran into was snapping rusty bolts, a problem I knew all too well with these old cars. I wanted to do this product writeup, because for some reason, brakes have been a hot topic as of late. Some people may think of this product as gimmicky, and that's fine, you can think that, but it actually works; (at least on the butt dyno). I don't see this as being the end all be all part, but more of a supporting mod for other brake-work. Currently, my setup is stock WRX 2 piston's, with Brembo blanks for rotors, and I am running EBC Redstuff pads. In the past I have run Hawk HPS, and I think those are the best, in terms of initial bite, low dust, and wear. Lately, my brake feel has been lacking, I bought this brace, stainless steel lines, and I am upgrading to a better fluid. Just installing this brace alone, I honestly couldn't believe the difference this little part made (in conjunction with my other brake parts of course). I took the car out for a spin, and did the 60mph-0 slam, and it did okay, but the brace really shines in pedal feel. I need pedal feel, and this product improved it rather well. I'm already more confident in my cars stopping power.
In conclusion, at $90, this is an excellent part to add to someone who is looking for better braking, without having to go to a monstrous Brembo or similar caliper setup.
