In my experience, most s13’s have the same brake booster that mark has - it’s about 3/4" taller than the style that Dustin has (and I’m guessing you also). > > Also, and probably a result of the issue mentioned above - the heat shield presses against his brakes lines which of course renders the unit useless in some aspects. > > Its an easy fix really I guess, if there was enough material left on the tab on the brake booster side i could elongate that hole also and move the shield away from the brake lines but its already as far as it goes and theres not enough material there to extend it. i took pics on my phone but im at marks, cant pull then from the phone here. let me know if you want to see them > > nice unit overall however, i have a feeling you had no idea of two different brake boosters on s13’s. i didnt either till dustin showed me a few weeks back. At first… I totally forgot about the difference between the Auto/Manual Brake Booster but then I did remember which is why instead of the single hole I put the slotted hole hoping that the extra room would make up for the difference in lenght when bolting to the Strut but it wasnt enough. Actually… prior to meeting up with Dustin I stopped into see a buddy who is doing an SR swap into his vert and since it was auto, it had an auto booster and when I gave him his sheild and he put it on, we noticed that the slotted hole was indeed approx 1/2’’ shy and I meant to post that up right away but it slipped my mind @ first and then once I did remember, my PC crapped out and I didnt get a replacement until now… Good News thou… I modified all the Sheilds and increased that slotted hole by approx .750’’ which will ensure no one else down the road has any issues 😉 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ic-group-buy-s13-brake-mc-heat-sheild/107897)._
