WTB brake booster

I am looking for a brake booster and possibly a master cylinder for my 1994 LSI SVX.
I think mine is shot.

There is a rebuild kit for the brake master cylinder. It's super easy to install.

How much for both.
I don't know which one or if ether are bad.

I want firm brakes.

well do u have stainless brake lines? Those really firm up the brakes. I would say $75 plus shipping for both would be about right

I have the same brake pads and have the same issue he has. My booster is good (holds vacuum overnight). I installed the master cylinder rebuild kit. Installed the stainless lines and bled the entire system twice.

I still say it's the nature of the carbon fibre brake pads that don't really bite until hot.

Do you have to push the brake pedal like 1-2 inches before the pedal feels firm?

Sounds about right. Too bad we don't live closer to each other or we could try each other's cars.
