Anybody buy the ddm master cylinder brace and did it fo anything to improve the braking?
Yes, I have had another brace on my SS since they first came out. If you would open the hood and press the brake pedal and see how far the master cylinder moves you would understand how well the brace works when installed.

Thx, I'll take your word for it. I can't step on the brake and see the master at the same time.

I believe that you can at least I did.

Come down to Maggie Valley and you can 'con' FunCycle into doing the install. We even borrowed the tools from DDM .. and yes helps a lot.
I was at the first Maggie valley rally. Been wanting to get back ever since. Wife is to frail to stay home alone. My plan is to ask her if she could go once May arrives. Got my fingers crossed. I will take 3 days down and back. Couple side stops along the way.
Why does the brace improve braking
Why does the brace improve braking
With the brace attached the hole system dose not flex. With out it there as much as a inch of flex in the whole system. It works. FunCycle can probably answer better.

When you see how much that the master cylinder moves you will understand.

Eric have someone sit in the driver side and you open the hood and watch as they step on the break.
What years guys? Everyone keeps talking about mods like everyone know what year Sling they drive or what year the mods are for. I drive a 2020 do I need one, Do they fit a 2020? Everyone says how great a turbo or a SC is but what about on the new engine. Or this is where I installed the addon 30 gal fuel tank but that spot is not even on my 2020. Ok sorry rant over you all just corn fuse me.

Don is your a GM 2.4, if yes than you could use one. But to use the breaks on a Slingshot the rules says you need to be driving more than 60 mph.
@EjFord nope a 2020 R and I grew up thinking hitting the gas was often better to get you out of having a accident. Up till I got the Sling I started braking as soon as the stop light turned amber now I am getting so I is just a quick look each direction and hit the gas. The Sling will get you through a amber quick.

I have the brace - but it didn't solve my problem

The brace does fit all years of the Slingshot 2015-2021 
I have the DDMworks brace and it helps a great deal.

Helps how?
2015 with decent brakes from the showroom floor, better after the dealer's secondary brake bleed, no need for any additional bracing.
With that said, this is going to come out of left field and a complete shot in the dark, is it possible that the dealer is not using proper technique for doing the digital ABS brake bleed?
I am going to get flamed over this for sure, but manual brakes do have a different feel than most folks have become accustomed to with their power assist brakes?

Braces the whole unit so it doesn't flex when the brake is applied. If you look it up there are pictures and you can see how it fits onto the frame and against the master cylinder.

Not sure what you mean. I have done the digital brake bleed with my tech at the dealer several times and it is pretty cut and dry.
1 - ABS is activated by wheel then the bleeder valve is opened starting at the back the front Right / then left
2- Most techs will repeat the process 2 times.
Not sure what they can do different - because if we are missing something it may solve my problem
