Guys,
The booster has nothing to do with the problem, brake feel has all to do with
the size of the master cylinder - bigger in this case is not always better, just
gives you that awful sloppy feel. BTW the sloppy feel of the PBR master cylinder
is for the same reason, the bore on these is 13/16" but these aren't as bad as
the 7/8" cylinder.
