That was my initial reaction. lol

But a brake stopper, as pictured below on Ormi's car, is a little gadget with a screw which pushes against the brake master cyclinder. Explanation of why you need them here...

"During hard braking will twist the toe board where the brake master cylinder is located, and this results in decreased brake pedal effort.

To improve the brake feel further, CUSCO recommend the master brake Cylinder stopper. What this is is a bolt-on unit that attaches to the back of the master brake Cylinder piston and the suspension tower to eliminate movement on heavy braking. Brake feel will improve as the master Cylinder does not flex anymore"
