Mine feel great in my car. If I hit the brakes hard enough, the car will go sideways with the S-10 cylinders in the back. Havent had one problem with the vac brakes on my car, and I believe they are the Master Power kit.

If I ever do have any problems, Im going HydroBoost. 1,400-2,000psi of brake pressure and it runs off the PS. Even if the engine shuts off, the accumulator holds enough pressure for THREE full stops. We'll see if I ever have to go that route though...
