rxsumo Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 The brake booster is only there to reduce the amount of effort you require to get the brakes to operate. Whether you require one or not depends on your personal preference and what brakes you are running...is this a street driven car? Typically running discs with 4 pot calipers, there is no need for a booster. If you are just setting the brakes up now, you might want to talk to one of the companys that build race brake setups and ask them about the setup you intend to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
