Yes of a similar design, although I wont be taking any money until I have them ready to ship. I'm also hoping to help out the members who got screwed the first time around, but we'll see how that goes one testing is closer to complete.

The prototypes are ready to ship out. I've decided to offer up my personal one which means there are 4 available at this time. As soon as we catch up on some other work in the shop these will be going into production, which should be in 2-3 weeks.

Anyone who wants one of the prototypes can order one from:

http://www.levelzeromotorsports.com/...roducts_id=235

Use coupon code 84EXHC when you check out to receive $45 off, which brings the total to $50 shipped for the prototype.

I've now done a test fit on the following:

S4 NA Vert

S5 NA Coupe
S5 Turbo Coupe

So I'm expecting there should be no fitment issues between any of the USDM years/models.
^That's what I based my purchase on. Can I get mine engraved with serial #1?

It looks as if the bolt holes are for the plugwire holder... Is this true?

Yes it should fit fine on all s4 makes/models.

Sorry they've already been shipped out.

The top one is. The bottom one is normally filled by a black plug. If someone was inclined to keep the wire holder, it should be possible to bolt it under the brace and use a washer on the bottom to keep things level. I've i can find mine or track down a replacement, I'll do some testing.

Once I have a chance to do another batch, I'll see what I can do about an actual GB or a sale of some sort. There really hasn't been much interest so there's only so much I can do before it's no longer worth the time to make them.

This is exactly what I've been waiting for. Have you guys ever looked at your firewall while someone else presses the brakes? It flexes sooo much!

Level Zero Motorsports, I'm getting an error message while trying to use Discount Code "84EXHC" for my purchase of this brake master cylinder.

I actually have seen how much it flexes

The 4 prototypes have been sold which is why the coupon code doesn't work. I just removed the listing from the website. I will add it back once these are in stock and ready to ship. Don't worry I will be making more, if for no other reason then that I sold the one that was for my own car.

Installed mine yesterday, it fits perfectly and looks awesome! A one-handed chimp could've put it on, because it's just that well made. Pedal feel is solid and overall, more enjoyable to drive.
One note: I'll probably replace the allen bolt that mates to the master cylinder with a hex head. That way, I can pre-load it while tightening the jam nut. Again, great work on this part!

That doesnt sound like a bad idea, when mine gets back from getting a roll bar I need to do the same thing.

Sorry no. The discount was for the prototypes only.

Yeah the pictures don't do it justice.

Many more parts are in the works, it's a slow process but we will be releasing more parts as they are completed.

I thought about this, but while doing the test fitting I had no problem getting plenty of preload using my fingers. You can also use a rag and vice grips if you really want to tighten it.
