Douse your flames, I have searched and read just about all posts on brakes and still uncertain about this: I have a bad booster in my civic lx (drum brake) I know its 9 inch but I have a sol s 8 inch booster laying around and both look interchangeable, questiion= what effects/changes will I have if I go this route? Thanks in advance BTW tried to pm "brake expert" but he has been banned.

The smaller booster would most likely create a harder push on the pedal because it will have less vacuum to work with and in effect decreasing the power of the brake pedal push.

When changing brake parts. . go equal or bigger, never smaller.
