I got all 4 z32 brakes front (30mm aluminum). Don't have the booster because after doing intensive research I found out that by getting the larger z32 MC (1 1/16) the brake feel would be good. Yes it did also say the booster would be of greater assistance but I guess I gotta find out for myself once the install.

you don't NEED the booster. i'm still using the stock s14 with abs booster and the pedal feel is great. the only reason i will upgrade the booster in the future is because i want to attempt an s-chassis bmc and booster swap on my s30.

My Z32 BMC had the container, you know someting I dont remember what I did about the low fluid sensor and its in storage, I'll let you know this weekend... remember bleeding those calipers is not as easy as the regular stuff, first start by bleeding the master, then do the calipers, drive 10 miles or so and bleed the calipers again, lots of places that air can hide...

Damn I didn't now I don't have to add that extra flare because I have ABS. Cool, saved me some time. Good thing to know

yeah, i still need to bleed again, i've just been lazy. the initial pressure is a bit low, but once i release the pedal and apply it again quickly, the pressure is nice and hard.

it's only a matter of connecting 2 wires, wasn't worth my time at all.
