Excited to see your progress on this. If I'm not mistaken, some of these were recalled. I don't *recall* which model exactly.

Bringing back an old thread after doing some searching and talking with DriftHQ about a Chase bay brake setup. I am looking into doing some track time through BMWCCA and I also have a local drift oval down the street from my house. I would like to add power steering (with a cooler) and a hydro boost brake setup into my E30. Here is a currently list of how the car is setup. Do we still think the E23 booster is the best setup? I haver a Aerostar van Hydro Boost brake setup in my 72 Bronco and it has the best brakes of any car I own. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks guys,
