Adrien -
I've had the PBR unit on my BJ8 now for almost 20 years & about 70K
miles. Still works like new. It provides a little less boost than
the original servo, making the brakes feel more like a sports car and
less like a Cadillac. In my opnion I have more control over the
brakes with the PBR unit. I think many lead foot racers & ralliers
would agree with me. A big plus is the PBR unit is inexpensive.
Cheers,
Alan
