Brake Booster

May 01, 2008, 09:13:53 PM

I have had my sn-95 brakes from about five years now and have never really been happy with the pedal feel. So I was thinking maybe I should switch out the booster to a SN-95 unit being that is the only part that is not SN-95. So I went and picked one up and it is acually smaller in diameter than the one that came with the car but much thicker and almost looks as if it would hit the strut tower. Now I am wondering if I should even swap out the booster.

wrt installation, it can be a PITA. some hit the strut tower some do not. some guys have found that shortening the mount studs will allow the booster to slip past the strut tower. i shortened one stud and did a lil massaging of the tower to get mine in. also the bolt pattern is different than the fox booster. at least one hole will need to be elongated.

wrt pedal feel, i cant help ya. i havent driven mine since the booster swap.
