Barry, did you get the one attached to its own booster, or with an adapter to 
a stock booster? I installed their conversion assembly with the GM master & 
booster assembly some years ago, and was pleased with the unit. The aluminum 
master is stepped; the front brakes run on one bore size and the rears on a 
smaller one. To complicate things, the Byars have two sizes of master/booster 
available- stock calipers take one unit & Wilwoods take another. FWIW, I run 
Wilwoods in front & Porsche 911-S front calipers in the rear. Don Byars has his 
recommendations as to which you will likely need based on what you're running.  
Cheers- J Deryke
