Disc brake upgrade
I have upgraded my brakes to marina discs - is a servo really required and does it appreciably reduce brake pedal pressure?

Re: Disc brake upgrade
I have Ford based disks without a servo. Never felt the need to have one. I believe them to be another level of unnecessary complication. I expect others will disagree.

Or me
Always been quite happy without the complication of a servo.
