I would recommend Wilwood with remote reservoir. They are a little more money but we are talking about brakes and not trim.

During my years of doing the purchasing for a fruit juice and applesauce processing plant. I found out that one of the best routes to finding the right vendor for a product is to call the company and ask who their dealers for it are in your area and who do they suggest from that list. Most of the time you end up finding the guys who have a good working relationship with the company.

There are probably vendors on this forum that handle the parts you need and you may get a discount.

According to Wilwood Summit is best for their stuff.

If you’re looking for Wilwood I would call or email Matt’s Classic Bowties.
They are a vendor on this forum and beat any price, I have also had great service dealing with them.

ok, maybe I need to clarify this question. what I want to know is who has an under floor booster & m/c & where did you buy it from. Also, are you happy with what you bought.
There are many vendors, but many have bad reviews and im trying to avoid as much headache as I can. thanks.

I have a firewall mount, so I can say who has a good bracket. If you don't want to spend "Wilwood money" you can get this:

I bought my booster/ master cylinder from them and they worked great. I recently swapped my front brakes and master cylinder to the Wilwoods. I only swapped the master cylinder because it was a good deal from Matt's. I still have the same booster.
