kkushner4474 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Has any one found a master cylinder brace to work on a 2009 legacy gt 5MT? If so which one? Any modifications? Thanks, Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkushner4474 Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Yes there are a few on grimmspeed. Master Cylinder Brace - 08-14 WRX/08-13STI, 07-09 Legacy (VDC), 09-12 Forester Master Cylinder Brace - Subaru 93-07 Impreza / 05-06 Saab 92-X/94-99 Legacy/ 03-08 Forester/Baja Master Cylinder Brace - Subaru Legacy GT '05-mid '07 NON VDC Sadly none of these are for a 2009 subaru Legacy gt 5MT. Since the manual transmissions do not have VDC from what I read here on the forms. I wasn't sure if some one found one to work any way with a slight modification or none at all.

gkinslow Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I've wondered this too. Haven't found one, but haven't looked incredibly hard either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRM Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Sorry for being a bit vague on info. Contact them and ask for their option on this. Surely they have had it come up in the past and could lead you in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkushner4474 Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 No worries. Chatted with one of them a day or two ago. They recommended buying the '05-mid '07 NON VDC. If it didn't fit they would send a return label, and I'd get my money back I suppose. Was hoping someone here was like " yea buy such and such and drill an extra hole here,boom, your good" Wasn't trying to be the guinea pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkushner4474 Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Brace ordered from Grimm speed. Updates to follow once it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I am confused. I have an Outback manual with VDC. I installed the 08+ Subaru with VDC GS brace. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtea Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I just put this in. I think it feels stiffer? I honestly can't tell. I bet the my brakes are shot and so this upgrade can only do so much with bad brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootz Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I did this brace at the same time as I swapped on LGT brakes + ss lines. It felt WAY better after taking all of the old stuff off (one brake pad just fell apart upon disassembly)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkushner4474 Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Fyi it works!!! And yes instant difference. I ended up getting the master Cylinder Brace - Subaru Legacy GT '05-mid '07 NON VDC. There are two bracket bolts the instructions yak about from Grimm speed that my 09 LGT 5MT didn't have. But bolting it to all possible places into the side firewall held it strong. The bracket for the fuel line filters and an electrical wire share a bolting location for the brace. I was able to get these to share one bolt hole instead of two, but could have gotten both by grinding down each individual bracket. End of day, it works. Exactly what I was looking for to fix the squishy brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
