Default Adjustable Pedel Box Vs Servo. ?

who's driven both and which is better?

Currently i am servo-less and am considering retro-fitting a servo, but the hassle involved is swaying me towards an adjustable pedel box which will - as the name suggests - adjust braking front-rear. Which will be worth while if i go rear discs at a later date..

Now my thinking is with a pedel box and no servo the brakes are gonna be the same as they are now? correct? i.e. alot of pedel effot required before anything happens.

The other thing is i'll have to run both rears from one circuit and both fronts off the other, will that still be fine for the mot?

No problems with the mot as long as they work properly

I've got bias on my dax and it stops like its hit a brick wall, pedal effort is fine but its not like a modern pile o shite like a corsa where you only need to breathe on them to do an emergency stop. I like it that way though because you can hold the brakes on the point of locking all the way from 120+ down to 0mph.

My capri has servo'd brakes, but its the old school style where it does piss all, the pedal is about the same as the dax

ive had a pedal box with adjustable bias, and it stops on the dime with little effort, much better then a servo in my opinion

Also had no probs with the mot
