Default input on brake booster deletes

I have a 97 integra and i have been debating whether I should do the brake booster delete with the wilwood MC. The car is not daily driven and will get driven once in a while

My question is how do you like it if you currently have one now? Hows the pedal feel?any issues with braking if any?

Im looking at either kens custom chassis kit with the wilwood mc.

Why would you want to do something to make the brakes work less efficiently?

A vacuum booster provides a LOT of apply force for you in the braking system. Removing it will require revamping the brake system to work on pure mechanical advantage, which practically may or may not be possible.

For nearly every application I would advise you to keep the booster. The stopping power provided is worth the weight.

What theyre saying may be true, I dont know.

I used the Kens plate w/wilwood MC. Pedal is a bit harder, more firm. However you wanna word it. It took getting used too, before I could track the car. I used an Si (nonABS) prop valve and have a rear brake bias adjuster as well. Car stops perfectly fine, so long as I start breaking a tad earlier than I normally would. I like it, compared to the OE setup (booster/MC)
