What happens if you delete your brake booster?
The benefits of deleting the brake booster for performance driving and Motorsport are: Reduced compliance between the pedal and the master cylinder which translates to a firm pedal feel. No lag between the pressure in the brake lines and the force on the pedal and thus improved braking control.
How does a brake proportioning valve work?
It is a spring-loaded component that activates when fluid pressure builds when you step on the brake pedal. Then, the valve’s plunger unseats and fluid rushes into the calibrated range. Once this happens, the spring gets compressed and the plunger blocks the fluid from passing through.
Can you put a brake booster on drum brakes?
A classic or hot rod car can have manual disc brakes or power assisted drums. “I thought a power booster was required equipment with disc brakes,” said one of my new buddies. “No, is the short answer. Even though a power booster gives you a good pedal feel, manual disc brakes work fine,” I explained.
Do cars need a brake booster?
In power brake systems, which are found on virtually all vehicles, the brake booster is a component that multiplies the force the driver applies to the brake pedal. If the booster fails, excessive pedal force will be required to achieve adequate braking. Most brake boosters run on a vacuum produced by the engine.
How important is a brake booster?
A brake booster, also known as a ‘brake servo’ or ‘vacuum booster’, does exactly as the name suggests, it helps to ‘boost’ the performance of the brakes. A brake booster makes it easier for the driver to brake by increasing the force exerted without the need for additional force applied on the foot pedal.
Is a brake booster necessary?
If you need to brake hard and fast at a moment’s notice, the brake booster helps your car halt without extra effort and does it a lot quicker. Thus, if you do not have a brake booster, your braking system’s power gets quite compromised, and your vehicle will be stopping at a longer distance than you would like.
Is there a booster delete kit for the Civic?

Can I use the booster delete kit with the OEM proportioning valve?
It is perfectly fine to use our booster delete kit with the oem proportioning valve If you are replacing the original booster and master cylinder from your EG and you intend to keep the oem proportioning valve on the firewall you can reuse the factory hard lines from the oem proportioning valve
