Ok so after talking to my buddy he suggested that I get an aftermarket booster that will work now and when I use the gen 4 front and rear disk later. The reason I need a new booster is the stock one is so large it is in the way of my coil packs, not to mention I want something that looks more modern. Do you guys know of a booster that doesnt need any brackets or mods, that is inexpensive, not that large, and that looks fairly moderns/ not shiny? Also it needs to work with my current brakes and work when I get gen 4 disk put all the way around. I know this is a tall order and kind of tedious but thats kinda what Im looking for. Do I have any optons or is the c5 booster the way to go?Thanks again guys for your help in advance.

That booster says it's 9 inches. I think that's the same size as what I have. I wanted something like 7 or 8 inches. How big is the c5 one? Maybe mines is 10 or 11.

I bought a C5 booster for my first gen on ebay for 150. Love it and relatively easy to mount. Had to cut the rod and use an early 70s Nova bracket to mount the booster to the firewall. Easy
