    Seeking Info on break booster eliminator

    So I came across the Chase Bay break booster eliminator and was wondering if any of you have experience with it. Couldnt find a thread about the product. Any info/review is appreciated. Thanks guys.

      Personally, I wouldn't run that master cylinder. With only one fluid port, you'll have no brakes if that line fails for any reason. Having at least two is a better option. I'd suggest Massive's booster delete plate with a modified pedal ratio. You could try different master cylinders to get the pedal feel you desire.

      I'm currently running Massive's plate with the stock master cylinder (21 or 22mm? I forget), a 6.25:1 ratio, and Ireland's 310mm front big brake kit. Car stops great.

          I'm using Massive setup as well. It's great. Really simple install and pedal throw is about perfect. I daily the car all winter.

            Are you running the stock MC as well? And upgraded breaks ?

                      It's rough, honestly- however, the more comfortable you get with it, it grows with you. I'm using the Massive boosterless setup in my s52e30vert and at first I was going to swap in a booster or run hydroboost. Currently, I'm up in the air with all of it and driving the boosterless setup a little more comfortably.

                      Using a 745i e32 MC. Keep in mind, you will need to make two new brake lines from the ABS pump to the MC since it is shorter- so keep that in mind with grabbing a bubble flare too and some line.
