Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting the ChaseBays brake booster eliminator kit but before I take the plunge I'd like to see just how much more pedal effort it takes to stop the car.

So, does anyone in the bay area have a non-boosted brake setup on their subaru?

Anyone tried this kit and have a review?

 

Disconnect the brake booster and plug the intake manifold. Drive around and see for yourself.

 

I'd personally not run a boosted setup without it, the master sizing is based off the system being boosted to support it and you'll find your right leg looking like Arnie's in short order!

 

This is why i'm looking for someone with a non-boosted setup to try. From a logical standpoint, I don't see why a system with more mechanical advantage and less or no vacuum boost should stop any worse. I think the fear of un-boosted brakes in the modding community stems from a lack of experience with a properly sized configuration.

So... anyone got a properly sized configuration? maybe even in a non-subaru chassis?

 

Non boosted setups are awesome but take some work to calculate the master sizes and not something you can do with a stock pedal setup.
