Booster from POL any good?
Has anyone had any bad luck with this brake booster from performance online?
If your using a different one and you're pleased with it, I would like to hear about it. http://www.performanceonline.com/196...m-Zinc-Plated/ Thanks

Re: Booster from POL any good?
Don't buy from them. If you do have a problem, they absolutely suck.

Re: Booster from POL any good?
Was looking at those and was about to ask the same question, and see if they were an okay unit. Good to hear.

What was your experience with POL that makes you say this? I've never ordered from POL. I've only bought drop shackles from CPP with no issues. But they are a pretty simple part to make and to install. I'm going to purchase a booster/master cylinder/prop valve combo this winter when I redo my entire brake system on my '72. Just lookin' for some feedback on which unit to buy from which store. ![]() Gary

Re: Booster from POL any good?
Before I switched to hydroboost I was running a POL booster. It looked good and I had no problems with it.

Re: Booster from POL any good?
Here's the sordid details if you're interested. Link
I recommend you get CPP parts and get them through Justin at Scott's Hot Rods. His company buys more than $300,000 of parts from CPP and he knows how to get things done with them. You'll get top notch service and a discount too. He's a forum vendor and here's a link to one of his threads so you can get his contact info. Shoot him a PM and tell him Steve sent you. Link

Re: Booster from POL any good?
Thanks for all the reply's guys. This is good stuff. I started in on research on single and dual diaphragms also. I've also ran onto a few comments about an oem rebuilt unit is better than an aftermarket.
I don't have alot of solid information just yet, but I do appreciate all your's input. As well I'm sure others do too.

Re: Booster from POL any good?
I bought the one with the master cyl and prop valve. It's been on my truck for almost 5 years without a single problem.

Re: Booster from POL any good?
I had all my brake and suspension parts from POl, was very pleased with them.
If you only need a booster,I had a remanufactured one for my other truck from rockauto Part # 5471125 Works well.

Re: Booster from POL any good?
Good info to know... I'm going to try the ebay one as well. At 100 dollars less and free shipping... gonna bite the bullet.
I'm sure it's the same as CPP and POL sells (cuz both of them are the same)... just without the stickers on the prop valve. Gary

Re: Booster from POL any good?
Finally around the computer long enough to bid on one of those ebay auctions listed above. Won it, and got it for $213 and free shipping. Now just gotta wait for it to hit my doorstep.
![]() Thanks for the heads up on that auction BB72CHEVKT. ![]() Gary

Re: Booster from POL any good?
I received my ebay booster combo kit yesterday. Seller has some poor communication skills and it took me prodding him to finally ship the damn thing. I finally got a tracking number the same day the box showed up on my doorstep.

Re: Booster from POL any good?
It is a good looking set up. I took the master off and hit it with some aluminum paint so it won't rust.
