Brake Booster Aftermarket Recommendation?

[CaptainNemo]

I own a 1996 LX450 and am in need of a brake booster. Trying to keep my budget under $200, instead of the $775.00 OEM from my local dealer. Is anybody willing to recommend an after market brand?

Seems to be a popular choice here with no negative feedback to date, anecdotally speaking. I've been running it for 1.5-2 years, 20Kish miles, lots of urban crawling, no issues.

The one that Jason sells at Cruiseryard is the OEM brake booster. Seiken was the OEM for Toyota.

I just bought one from City Racer, LLC. Price was great and it works like normal. You just need to order the two thin paper gaskets from Toyota.

I've been running one of these for 2-3 years, works well.

Onur would stun gun you for making this claim. lol

I'm pretty sure Onur was the one who told me that. I could be wrong.

Recently the original booster on my 97 FZJ80 died, bought a Seiken. Compared alongside the original booster the Seiken is identical in appearance/markings. Only difference I could see is the rubber bellows around the plunger/shaft is a slightly different design/shape. Pedal/braking is good, no issues. FWIW

And they’re easily traceable and possible to make yourself.

They were less than $5 from local dealer, but knock yourself out with the paper crafting if preferred. They really are just paper thin cut outs to keep the paint from scratching.

I got my Seiken here, paid $333.10 after shipping and taxes.

I put a Centric booster on my 80 about three years ago when the original Seiken failed. Seiken was out of stock everywhere I looked at that time. Centric is still running strong. No issues.

Has nothing to do with money. I’m not a guy that wastes a vendor’s time with penny products. Definitely ain’t wasting mine with a box kicker at a dealer for something I can make quicker than he can type in my VIN.

None. Get the seiken, which is oem without the $400 Toyota box
