Best off the shelf kit for manual brake conversion / booster delete?
 
I'm looking to ditch my booster and go to manual brakes. I've been reading a bit and looking, and the kits I have seen seem to be a bit sporadic without many reviews. The typical vendors I like to buy NB stuff from (V8R, Supermiata and Goodwin) don't offer a kit for this which also makes me question if there is a good kit for it at all.

Any recommendations or is this a fab your own parts type of thing?

Have a look at this kit from Honed: https://honeddevelopments.com/produc...ooster-delete/

Nice, thanks! Good looking piece of kit. Have you used it?

Yes I've fitted it to my car. Install was very easy and the instructions are quite good. Need to remove the pedal and drill a new pivout point with the provided template and slightly bend the brake lines since it moves the master cylinder back a little bit. The pedal feels more linear afterwards and a little stiffer.

Thanks for the info! Ended up ordering the kit and happy to support an Aussie company (my parents live in Brisbane).
