Disc brake upgrade

Post by grm2504 »

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

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.

Always been quite happy without the complication of a servo.
