Summit Racing™ Power Brake Boosters

A Summit Racing™ power brake booster is the perfect addition to your street rod or custom application. The boosters use vacuum from the engine, or a standalone pump, to assist in slowing down the vehicle as you depress the brakes. This makes the brake pedal much easier to press and improves the braking response of the vehicle. These power brake boosters are available in multiple diameters, in single or dual-diaphragm designs to best fit your application. Choose between the brake booster only; or the brake booster and brake pedal rod extension kit, which makes installation even easier.
