You know, we have a member here who sells a darn good booster/master cylinder setup with something like 30% more boost than a stock 11" booster. You can do a search to find him. Seems like he knows his stuff.

As for brake pedal height, there are some threads on that subject on this forum. I got my pedal about 1.5" closer to the floor by adjusting the pushrod and then gluing a rubber bumper on my existing pedal return stop. I also had to adjust the brake light switch. Some guys build a new pedal stop.
Yeah the sticker shock is making me reconsider. I did look at the detroit speed spindles that use gmt800 brakes. The spindles are pricey but at least they use gmt800 brakes. https://detroitspeed.com/detroit-spe...SBi7TtJHHI8GBw

waiting for after the holidays to call detroit speed and kore3 to ask more. Understanding the calipers, rotors, and bolt pattern are my biggest concerns. If I can get rotors easily and use 5x5 I wouldnt mind paying 1500 for the kit if I can get the replacement parts easily. The one upside to the wilwood d52 and c5 calipers is easy to get now its just the rotor concern.
