Yup, Metro booster. I'm going to check it out when the time comes.

I have this entire setup, Ill snap some detailed pics. I also have a brand new master with reservior and a brake booster I will be putting up for sale.

In all honesty, it's not bad at all. If you modify the pedal it essentially has the same feel due to the modified ratio.


If you want, I'd be more than happy to meet up during a break of mine so you could drive the car in a parking lot just to get a feel for them. I'm running race fluid and carbon ceramic pads as well.

Definitely let me know when you're in town. I'd love to meet up just to get a good look at the car. Ordering my mounts this weekend, and I have the e30 just about ready to take in it's new heart.

I'd love to go manual brakes but my wife loves driving my cars... So I gotta make it somewhat friendly to her.

I personally enjoy hearing her stories about putting the smack down on some hot headed kid in daddy's car.

HAHAHA, that's epic! My wife father had a local Porsche shop when she was growing up. She took her first joy ride in a 944 turbo when she was 12 haha. My build is more track but she still wants to drive it. I'm going manual because I'm going to modify the firewall slightly to push the 5.0 back further for better weight distribution. I figured the less I have going on in the firewall the better haha.

The guy talks about the combo setup he used for brakes.

I noticed that the white 5.0 e30 with the big turbo had, what appeared to be, a brake booster in the stock placement. I didn't realize you could fit one there. I was wondering what you thought of it.

Appears to be some sort of older domestic unit.

Pretty sure he did the geo/kia stuffs.

hmmmm...

Well when I spoke with Lee yesterday (ended up snatching a kit up) he made it sound like while he doesn't plan on stopping sales of the delete kit, it's not exactly a hot item. As such, he stocks his shelf, lets them sell out, then makes/orders more. He said sometimes this can take a few months, but judging from the quality appearance of the products, I'm OK with this.
