I just went with over the counter reman brake booster and new ac/delco master cylinder. One thing I was told and had in my head from the beginning is, brakes are definitely not something you want to save pennies on. You should always try to buy "new" vs. "Reman" anytime you can.Stainless brake lines are one of those "I can afford it." Items. They sure do look nice and practically last forever, but are a PITA to have to mess with when things don't wanna route where they need to be.
Thanks for the reply. I definitely don't want to cheap out on the brakes,just don't have the budget to spend a ton of money on a booster/master/prop valve kit. I don't mind spending a little bit tho. Have looked at the cpp kit but I'm a little skeptical with all their bad customer service reviews. The main thing is I want to get something that fits and works properly without any headache. If I have to do new lines, I work as a tuning bender by trade so I could make my own. Right now I just want to get them working properly without putting me through the windshield lol
