again,,,,i have wilwood brakes. i have 8 inches of vacuum i did not stop without
a vacuum pump. installing one that is belt driven is a pain inthe ass if you already have your engine compartment completed. the metric mind pump is designed for an electric car that produces no vacuum. this pump will provide
the complete vacuum requirements for a power booster. you will hit your face
on the steering wheel with the braking power you will have. just connect it to the booster and connect it to the power and the braking problem is solved. there is nothing wrong with your rear brakes.
