I didn't realize this until I had both of them out but the replacement unit is smaller than the broken one. Will this cause issues for me as far as braking performance goes?





EDIT:
WHALECRAP. So upon testfitting it i realized that the rigid lines that go to the trac/abs unit will not line up with the master cylinder anymore. Going to be contacting rockauto to have them send the correct unit. Looks like my other option is Cardone. Anyone know anything about that company?

EDIT2: After looking around, seems like Cardone is not a great manufacturer. unfortunately my options are Cardone, SKP or Quality-Built. SKP is $60 and everywhere i look seems to indicate its garbage, cant find any info on 'quality-built' and Cardone has horror stories all over reddit. OEM is discontinued and i would REALLY prefer not to get a used unit off ebay, no idea when it might grenade itself.

Any advice? I'm kinda stuck

can you post pictures of what you are referring to with the lines not meeting the master? if its easier PM me your Facebook messanger so it will be more direct/ faster

I've packaged the booster but I'll send you my FB so that we can message better. As far as pictures go, I'll send you what i mean once we get connected on FB. The bracket you mentioned would go between the booster and the firewall which theoretically might offset the master just enough for the rigid lines to connect. We will see how it goes.
