I agree completely. The only way to go is a hydroboost unit from the above website. It's the best thing you can do for your shark. You'll stop much better than with any other system that you can buy.

the hydrobooster is the booster that came off of diesel cars (some petrols too because the general didn't want to use oidd. setups for diff. cars)

i think Paul from Hydroboost posted that info.

I will have my car back in about a week!! It will be a whole new car: 500hp 470ci BB, tko 5 speed, o-ring brake pistons, and of course...the Hydroboost

I will definately post lots of comments! i really look forward to good brakes...especially with the 540 pounds of tq that i will have!

If you order the the Hydroboost kit from Paul you will get outstanding support. He really believes in his product, and wants you to be happy.
