a wild guess ... but from what I can see it looks like its bracing the the Master Cylinder against the strut ? to prevent the bulkhead from flexing ?

eliminates brake fade on very hard cornering, several of the tuners in Japan sell these kits. As Mike has said its simply a brace to stop flex and movement.

Yep, brake cylinder brace as stated above. It won\'t do anything to reduce brake fade though. Just improves the feel you get through the brake pedal. Reduces flex in the brake system (the pressure on the brake pedal moving the master cylinder itself rather than the piston inside). In theory it helps you modulate pedal/brake pressure easier as there\'s less "give" in the system.
