    hydrobooster compatability

    sup guys, im thinking of converting from a vacume booster to a hydrobooster brake system. a friend told me it could be done but i would have to change over the calipers as well as the booster because the hydrobooster would lock up my factory calipers. i call B.S. but i have been wrong before. has anyone done this or have any imput? thanks

    No you dont have to change any of the brake system....We do plenty of the swaps and its not an issue.

    BS.

    You need a different pump, an extra pipe, the booster, and possibly a different master cylinder.
