    GQ brake booster upgrade ?

    Hi guys starting my brake upgade this week and would like some info please
    I'm fitting Y61 twin pot callipers and matching "rotors" as you say lol but what about the servo and master cylinder ? (brake booster )
    Should I go for the Y61 "booster" and master cylinder too ? Is it bigger and better ?
    If so is there a particular model I need to quote to get the right parts?
    Cheers all

    The way I see it. If you dont, you wont have the braking force needed from the master cylinder to apply to the twin potters. Don't do half the job mate. Make it even more a GU.
    As for what model. What model were the calipers off? I would just get the booster from the same model. If they are a direct fit too...

    Hydro is what I've just been reading . 4 times the boost, oh yes please
    I got the servo and master cylinder off the GU and it's the same size as I already have . So hydro it is . I'll post when the shopping is done
