I have been trying to get one for a while (at a sensible price) and failed. I know several people who swear by them Nik, so you've done well there. Ian with the R33 has one if you want to PM him for more details. Was the one you bought a one of was there a group buy thing? [-o<

i have one fitted to my 200, and it suffers in exactly the same way as your liner does (bulk head flexing under heavy braking) the one i got was made by drfiter (on here) its made a huuuuge difference to the braking

I noticed a big improvement especially for the small outlay.

They need to be fitted in a certain way to get the most benefit though.

Nik you work with me everyday and I've got one of these fitted!!!! LOL
I could have told you that they make a noticeable difference.

Take my s13 out and see what you think of the brakes on that :twisted: (but only when the weathers better)

Had one on my R34 GTR. It does make a difference under very heavy braking since you are trying to stop the bulkhead flex where the master cylinder is.

Changing the rubber flexible brake lines for braided ones improved the brakes far better. Best to do both to the brakes if you can.
