DVC, or anyone else with one- what is the cost on the electric brake booster? I have seen the link from the other thread about the cover of the manual, but I have not been able to find the price on their site.

Greg- I don't know if it helps or not, but I did my N/A LS2 swap in stages; motor first and then suspension and brakes. I did do the 951 transaxle at the same time as the V8, but if I could go back I would have held off on that as well.

i dont fully understand the absolute need for monster brakes on a streeted 944, even with an ls engine...there isnt really any weight difference for the brakes to deal with, and an engine that is off throttle (when you would be braking) makes no more power whether its a 2.5L or a 6.3L...944 brakes, even NA, seem like plenty for the car...larger is nice yes, but absolutely necessary? only for racing imo.

Lot's of BBKs are sold and most of them are lengthening stopping distances because the pads don't heat up enough in street use.
