I have a track day next weekend. Maybe it's time to get one.
I should mention maybe? I mentioned specifically Alpha because I live 'too damn close' according to my wife! 
So another brace mfg would work, but I do like theirs and it was a quick install. 
Three of the best mods you can do. Laser alignment ---- Short Shifter ---- Master Cylinder Brace
I put the FB brace on mine last fall, thinking it might solve my mushy brakes. It helped, but my brakes were still far too soft on the first pump. Since I fixed my "air in the system" issue, I'm loving my brakes. Whether people have mushy brakes or not, the brace can only help, since it helps eliminate most of the firewall flex.
My brakes are quite good, but better is always well... Better.
good to hear its funtional.. makes letting go of money a tad easier.
Think airoutlaw was trying to come up with a way to diy it himself...but we may wind up with alphas yet.
While I was at Alpha yesterday, they installed their Brake Brace as I was whining about my pedal being mushy again, possibly needing to be bled again. I was going to put one on like a year ago, but they hadn't quite finished the production run yet.
Did not think that it would solve my problem or be that much of a difference to be honest, but Damn! Solid as a rock. So if you don't have one, I highly recommend it.
What does the brace do that bleeding and filling the system doesn't? Sorry if that question is a little stupid...not familiar with this particular gear.

While the video @Tripod posted shows the measured deviation, what you can feel in your foot and braking is a much more solid/stiffer response with the brace. With bled brakes it can still feel mushy without the brace because of that movement.
So the only 2 I see are:
Alpha

Full Blown

I usually buy Alpha, but the Full Blown doesn't require any drilling. Do they both work about the same? Are there any other options?
F&$%ing nukes, man.

Yep...both devices do the same thing very well. I went with the FB brace just because I didn't want to drill holes. Install was pretty easy and straight forward. The Alpha brace is just as good, and almost as easy to install. If you don't mind drilling the extra hole, it's just a matter of personal preference regarding price and looks.
I second this. I thought my brakes were fine, bought a master brace because people kept saying to. It sat in a box for almost 3 months and I decided to finally throw it on and the difference was night and day. My brakes are *ROCK SOLID*, I upgraded pads at the same time for the front and I haven't felt better braking in any vehicle.
@KayTwo, huh?
I'm razzing on @Tripod for "nuking it out" by digging into his stash of video clips just to dig out a5-second clip of a couple of gages spinning. that's along the lines of something an ex-Navy nuke would do. But in the Navy, you can't just say "nuke" when referring to a person in the nuclear field....the saying is "Nuke is only half a word." Hence my brotherly epithet.
Installed it today..Kinda tough to drill the hole--they should have sent an "Alpha-Bit"
