Default Ba Booster Upgrade

We have just finished getting some BA boosters modified to get close to 40% more power out of them and the lone customer who has tried it has found a positive improvement in there braking. The booster has been reconditioned and modified and can be purchased as an exchange or outright unit.
This booster mod would help assist braking in any towing capacity and racing along with everyday driving.We would love to have more people use this upgrade and get more feedback to see if it will be a continued product.

BA mod booster +40 - also has been reconditioned and will have warranty
Exchange $295.00 + $50 deposit which is refundable when we receive old booster.
Outright $345.00

I have now sold a handful of these and there seems to be brake improvement but to be honest i am still waiting on most customers to get back to me with feedback. I have one on the shelf.

g,day matt, i might buy one of these with my brake kit as my BA has the troublesome booster issue causing the brakes to drag, are you aware of this issue? does your booster reco address the underlying cause of the problem?
cheers mate,

paul

Before buying the booster you can back the adjustment off on the booster which is generally by one full turn but see a brake specialist or mechaic to do it if you are not able too.

i've done that but one turn wasn't enough to get rid of the problem, the turn and a half i did has fixed it but i have noticeably more travel at the pedal.
my thinking is the std brakes are now toast due to the constant riding from the booster so hopefully with my new rotors/calipers/hoses/pads assembled on the car i can wind it back out that extra half turn and still have a smooth vibration/shudder free ride???

Fit your new brakes and try it but the pedal travel may be due to the adjustment on the pushrod but as the pushrod is adjustable you can always turn it back.
