No problemo's.
I would be interested to try one that HAS had the m/c changed tho, just to feel the difference.
Dunno what you are used to, but they will be nowhere near as bad as you were thinking/were told - trust me.

I was looking for one of this comment! lol..
yeh, since I was browsing through some threads, and some of them are just scary, saying that it would be like shit if i don't change it as well.
Anyway, I will see, sooner or later.

Well, put it this way, I took my car to Wakefield a couple of weeks ago and was braking FUCKING late on a couple of the corners and it just pulled up evey time. No fade at all. And no loss of pedal feel whatsoever.

No probs. It might be worth noting that my m/c and booster look relatively new, so this may have something to do with it. In any case, from my experience, stock AE86 works fine.
Good luck!
Jeremy.

Here's an idea - Don't fit the stopper...... Give it to me coz I reassured you about your brakes.
