Brake Booster

Does anyone know whether the SVX has a single diaphragm or tandem booster? I'd like to firm up the pedal feel and know that if it is a tandem diaphragm booster switching to a single would fix it...Thanks!

Re: Brake Booster

I know about bleeding brakes and the SS brake lines...

A mod similar to this one works wonders on Legacys:

And I am trying to figure out if it is applicable to the SVX...
