well the concept would kinda make since if they could somehow keep the liquid from moving around but brake lines are pressurized and there is no movement in the lines (where it counts) that's why it seems just pointless...

Just a cheap money makin' scheme is all it is...just like the "power chips" which are resistors on E-bay that are supposed to bring like 20 hp that cost a nickle and they try to sell them for like $20 a pop...same difference.

Actually there is theory in this product. I've seen the idea tossed around before elsewhere not just for civics. Something about autox I believe using this idea. The harder you stomp the peddle and the quicker you hit it, the more the firewall gives under the pressure allowing the master cylinder to flex and move instead of putting that force into the brake lines where it's needed/wanted. Basically that item holds the master cylinder completely still instead of allowing it ANY room to move side to side or up and down. It's more of an offroad type thing like I said. Autoxer's use them i believe.
