For the price it does it's job perfectly. I would be hard pressed to say everyone would know/feel the difference between firewall flex and just soft brakes. But it's something someone that does have the knowledge/feel would notice. If you track your car I recommend it to get you a uniform/linear pedal feel.

Me to. Hopefully I'll get it installed sometime over the next two weeks.

I've picked up some "Retaining Washers" or "Push Nut" from a local hardware store and I'm going to see if that will help with the mounting screws. By using these washers I can put the two M6 screws through the bracket and then press on the washer from the opposite side. They will keep the screws from falling out as I position the bracket. I'm going to just install the washers just far enougn onto the screws so that they will retain them to start with. once I have both screws started into the nuts within the inner fender, the washers will be pushed all of the way to the bracked as I tighten the screws down. Well.... that's my plan. I'll attach a photo of the type of washer I'm planning to use to help anyone who isn't sure of what I'm talking about.

I used a small amount of blue painters tape to hold the nut onto the driver.

Make sure it's assembled correctly before you install it. Mine was orientated backwards....which I didn't realize until AFTER I mounted it

Take before and after photos of your knuckles
