Default Got a little more stopping power today

I finally got all my stuff to finish up my disc brake upgrade I did back in 07. I could make this a write up if you guys want it. Seems like there are always questions about this in here.

did you have any issues getting the booster in? Ive thought about upgrading mine, but I havent found it completely necessary. Plus, I am not touching my strut tower

No issues. It was tight though. I had to pull my valve cover and drill two of the holes in the firewall to open them up to get it in. The strut tower doesn't need to be beat on like some people say.

93 Cobra brake booster and master cylinder. Do you have disc brakes all the way around? I got real tired of a hard pedal every time I stopped. That's why I decided to go ahead with the booster when I installed the master cylinder.

yep, my set up consists of an SVO MC with a turbo coupe rear end and swapped to the 87-93 GT spindles and rotors with SVO calipers. I dont have any trouble stopping, just not sure if I'm unleashing the real potential of the setup with my booster. Have you gotten to test the new booster yet?

Not yet, I just got this done last night. Can't drive the car on the road because I don't have my exhaust on yet.
