    Should I delete my Brake Booster?

    Doing a M52 swap and I wanna shave my bay. Looking to remove as much clutter as possible. I know there are many options out there for the brake booster, But just wondering if anyone has removed it theres.

    for looks?

    it can be done, but if it's not to fit some crazy motor swap or huge CF airbox - what's the point?

    massive lee is in montreal and sells booster delete kits.

                    I take it those bolt to the floor pan? Or did someone get confused during assembly.

                        lol, they aren't upside down....they just bolt to the floor. Lot of race cars use them but they can be a pain in the ass to bleed properly; the master cylinders can be mounted lower than the calipers.

                          That's what all the brake-less fixie kids do when they go from bikes to cars.

                            Driving without power brakes sucks.

                            Have fun when you plow into the rear end of someone, that shaved bay will look great in the junkyard.
