Are they worth fitting while using Cooper S Disc brakes. |

I honestly cannot believe you just spelt "brake" the way you have! 
There needs to be some kind of Sticky thread that explains the situations where the following words are used... brake, break... there, they're, their... where, we're, wear, were... bought, brought. All this incorrect spelling and grammar on forums really pisses me off. 
FYI... To be correct the thread title shoud read, "Brake booster" not "Breake booster". |

Most people prefer having one, as it gives a modern feel to the pedal. Personally I prefer to have more direct feel for the brakes , and I'm heavy enough to push any pedal to the floor

Molina Well , now we know you are a spelling nazi, do you have an opinion on brake boosters
Back to the original question, I find it much better to have a booster with discs, it's really personal preference, some like the heavy pedal without booster but I reckon they just about got it right with a booster, not to heavy and good feel with. Just my 2c worth Jon |

Wow, give him a braik. What is it, an bloody english forum? They add some strength to the brakes, but it's only personel preference. If you've got the cash, and don't mind a little more hassle getting to the clutch assembly, go for it. |

I may end up installing a booster some day but it will be when i have some excess cash. Mick wrote: Wow, give him a braik. What is it, an bloody english forum? I kept quiet all those times when "break" was used instead of "brake"... but "breake" isn't even an english word!

If the car has no inside heater, you can stick the booster under the dash, like the works cars did... 
I've got 2 Minis with S brakes and no booster- on my wife's I fitted EBC Blackstuffs. They need less pedal effort than the Green ones but do fade a bit sooner. Good road pad, lots cheaper too.

The worst part is when you hop into a modern car and put everyone through the windscreen because you are used to braking in a mini. |

I don't belive that you can go past a decent brake set up in any car, the Moke has a stainless steel lined VH44, from a stainless steel line master through from discs and line rear wheel cylinders (although a decent working hand brake is just as important and very enjoyable) |
