Installed 1 of these a couple of months ago. Brake Booster - Hydraulic | Marks 4WD - https://www.marks4wd.com/brakes/hydraulic-brake-booster?wpf_filter_vehicle=toyota-landcruiser-80-series&wpf_fbv=1
Probably the best Brake upgrade I've installed (there have been many).
Pedal feel is instant. Pedal requires very little pressure to start activating. Braking power and performance is on par with a modern vehicle. Pedal is still a little stiff, but certainly not bad. I can now lock all 4 wheels with 37's easily with only about 5 inches of pedal travel. I couldn't lock them beforehand even with full pedal travel and pulling on the steering wheel for dear life.
As always with an 80, bleeding the brakes is a bitch and performance is totally dependent on multiple bleeding sessions.
I've suffered the 'long push' brake pedal for 20 years. Gone through every brake pad/rotor combination on the market. Multiple new master cylinders and 2 different vacuum boosters. I have 2 sets of calipers that i switch out as needed. Gallons of brake fluid bleed through it over the years chasing elusive air bubbles.
Currently running terrain tamer cross drilled and slotted rotors with Power stop pads, braided lines throughout, lspv still installed.
Marks Hydro Booster is worth every cent. I used to have nightmares about not being able to pull up my heavily laden 80.
No change in power steering feel and no change in pedal feel when aggressively using power steering.
Thumbs up from me.
