thank you very much for clarifying....
Sorry; I misinterpreted. That is part of what I am trying for here, to see if either can be a quality performance piece, while cleaning up my engine bay.

I haven't heard of others having issues though, so who knows... not sure what I could have goofed in that department since the reservoir came pre-installed.

The other lines leaking could have been my error for sure though. I was just so bummed about not being able to finish the car that weekend and brake fluid pouring all over my freshly painted bay that I decided to move on. Chase and Logan have been super cool to me and helped me out a lot with their products, so I never want to be one to bash their stuff. All of the other CB products on my car have worked out without any issues- I just decided to move back to the stock booster in the brake department.
Thanks for the post! The whole reason I started this thread was because I saw yours leaked so much.

If you want it to look cleaner, just flip the booster upside down and run the hose behind the firewall.

You can also get a brake master cylinder from any 90's Nissan truck or SUV, which is the same as the S-chassis one, but has the ports on the other side, thus being convenient for tucking the lines. Plus they come in 7/8", 15/16", and 1", so you can pick one to suit your braking needs. (Same BMC's as JDM Z32/R32)
I will look into this as the biggest thing for me are the lines hanging everywhere.
