See this is why racing has the reputation that it does. Just because a car is a race car does NOT mean it can't be nice. I am getting sick of seeing these shit cars with cracked bumpers, mismatched paint, shitty engine bays, and whatever else just because its a "race car doood"

The biggest one being that you will have the braking feel of an old Ford truck with manual brakes, and that simply isn't the case. We've sold hundreds of these, and actually have them on a few of our personal vehicles (which two of them are S13s). The pedal feel is slightly stiffer than a stock pedal, but it isn't something that is going to break your leg. And with our setup, this eliminates you having to custom fab a plate to mount it with, or even source hardware. Not to mention we offer brake line kits to further accent your engine bay. The 7/8" Master Cylinder will be plenty for your chassis, regardless of your brake setup. Some of the issues that people have with saying the pedal is too stiff or complaints about the BBE in general sometimes come from not using a proportioning valve, I've seen that one quite a few times also. If you have any questions or concerns about the kit, I would be more than happy to answer them for you.
Great! I want to start off by saying that I like the idea of your kit and your general products. However, I feel like after I bought the kit I would be waiting ridiculous amounts of time before receiving it with possibly missing/broken parts. I love your company and the things it puts out, but I have also had/seen bad experiences. For example when I bought a few parts from your company they forgot to send my overflow bottle. You guys were quick to send a new one, but on this one the cap bounces up and down as if it is too small for the bottle. This is even with the huge rubber ring. I haven't tried it with a running car yet, but it doesn't seem like it will keep anything air tight.

Will the 7/8 cylinder be okay for my z33 brakes up front? I am going to be running z33s up front and z32s in back with separate calipers for my hydro ebrake.

Camryonbronze had issues with his master cylinder; was that a fault of your company, wilwood, or installation?

What is the wait time on the BBE? I know your company was facing issues with suppliers and a big thing for me was that I don't want to wait months for the BBE. Thanks!

On a side note I love your s13 with your brake booster eliminator and vh (vq? I don't remember) in any event it looks amazing and I want all your products to make my car look as clean as that.

EDIT: If I do buy your BBE I will write a full review on it as well.
