brake upgrades! boosters???

Featured Replies

been figuring out brake upgrades for my gen1... i've done the rear disc brake upgrade and still working on the vented rotor upgrade...

 

so with all 4 corners covered i still notice it doesn't brake as well as it could... (4 wheel disc's on the legacy is still 100x better than the brat)

 

so that got me thinking... what is the something that everybody seems to neglect? the brake booster!

 

now i'm pretty confident in assuming that all brake boosters aren't created equal... perhaps and ea82 brake booster or maybe even a legacy booster would work better???

 

with some major plumbing work i think it could be done... i'd assume i'd need to swap all the valves and whatnot so the pressure doesn't go all wonky...

I do know that when garner put the EA82T into his '79 Brat, he also upgraded his brake booster and brake master cylinder to an EA82 as well. Search around in his pics cause I know he has a couple quick shots of it installed.
