Default EM1. USDM IRT 5lug setup swap. MC/Booster question

So I'm looking into upgrading my EM1 to the 5lug USDM ITR setup.

Along with that. I wish upgrade my MC/Booster setup to the 1" setup, I can easily go OEM on this and call it a day.

And on top of I wish to look into the chasebays booster delete kit, how do I go about ordering this setup, and are there any drawbacks, pointers I should look into?

any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Don't waste your time with the booster delete unless you need it to fit something else in the bay for some reason.

If you do decide to go manual brakes, you're going to want to downsize your master cylinder so that you have some mechanical advantage over your brakes.

awesome I remember reading i'd have to down size, but for some reason I didn't understand why. I do now.

I'm actually just interested in the way it looks. But when it comes down to it I will end up comparing prices from going OEM 1" vs installing the chasebays kit. i'm new to all this but I'm beginning to realize how much of diff. it can make to upgrade to upgrade MC/Booster.

heck I didn't even realize there was any diff. in the brake systems from there.

thanks for your answer bro.
