Default Power brake booster
Can somebody provide a pic of the brake booster on a 2001 SS Camaro. During a build, I decided to go to manual brakes. Huge mistake. So I’m going back to power brakes. I’ve ordered the booster and when you put the booster and master cylinder on, it goes out over the strut tower. Just doesn’t look right. Can somebody send me a pic of an original brake booster. I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Also because of Ice mode - it sucks A LOT. Manual brakes though are harder to get the pedal feel just right, or the proportioning with aftermarket units, from what I've read.
