Best brake servo for big brake conversion?

[aaron88v]

This is obviousley something thats been discussed before but i cannot find a topic. I have completed my redtop conversion minus a bigger servo, was wondering what the best one to use is apart from and gte one, since they are becoming rare, iv heard the servo from a mk3 astra will fit nova master cylinder, but unsre if there is any modification required???

any pointers will go down a treat :) cheers Regards Aaron.

Any servo tbh. Proper brakes dont even have/need servo's. The master cylinder spec & calipers is of more importance & easily over looked. Most of the GM/ATE calipers we fit as upgrades come from cars with 22 or 22.5mm bore MC's. The Novas all have a 20mm bore which moves less fluid.

If you want a gsi servo, pm me.

if you are too much of a pussy to press the brake pedal to stop, then you need the extra help.

Read the braking article in the articles section. Servos are pointless.

oooooo you callin a pussyole! lol

I just dont wana be drivin round steppin on a sack of potatoes everytime i need to brake hard!!

the servo wont change how that happens. Its down to the master cylinder/caliper/rear cylinder ratios.

you arent on rear discs are you?

There are 2 sides to the braking argument on a Nova though. Using OEM upgrade parts & making the best of a bad job (the factory design & setup) or looking at competition parts & saying that servo's are pointless.

Depending on what the car is for should help with the ideal/cost effective parts to fit.

Craig, even using GM parts, there is no real need to ever change the servo though (unless its broken)

[craig green]

I know. I said before a MC change would be more beneficial, but that might involve say a full servo/MC combo from a Cav turbo like what RichM did.
