Question

Which is the best brake support bracket (MY 2000 p1?

Scoobymania or Power engineering?

Do you need to disconnect and bleed the brakes to fit them?

Err, AFAIK, they all do the same job - prevent the master cylinder from moving and hence gives more play in the feel of the brake pedal.

For the record I've got a MRT job on my MY98. Provides extra feel through the brake pedal. Nothing else, does extactly the job I brought it for.

Fitted an MRT some time ago to 00 STi 6 Wagon.
Fiddly to fit but does not involve slackening brake pipes so no question of bleeding.
Do not feel it was a necessary mod and £50 + could have been better spent elsewhere,

Harvey - have you taken it off, or unscrewed the adjustment bolt?

I think it's only then that you notice what extra "feel" it gives you. But i agree it's marginal except under heavy braking.

Mine's a Scoobymania one - took me about 30 minutes to fit, would take me about 10 minutes now i know what goes where, but i think their's is very similar to PE's..

It is MRT or Whiteline. It was fiddly to fit because of other clutter. I have satisfied myself as to its usefulness on my car. May be more use on a car with lots of bulkhead flex.
It can go immediately to the first person who will send £50 including postage.
Have checked. It is MRT and I have the fitting instructions and a photo etc.
