Default help from some local guys!
Hey guys, anyone out there near Redondo Beach (Los angeles area) who can come by and test out my brakes? I'm having a problem determining whether my master cylinder is bad or my brake booster. one of them is, because the brakes are terrible. pads are good, no leaks, system is bled. i've narrowed it down to one of those.

Anyone think they can swing by and test it out? I would really appreciate it!! thanks!

You should be able to pick up both for real cheap, you just have to find someone parting a car out. I could help you replace them both.
