Not quite sure what you mean by gain but they're a bit more bulky than the original m/c and booster set up.

I will translate for him as he is a top tv tech but not mini savy as he was in the 80's he was looking for info on the Rover mini brake setup with cylinder booster in one is it as good or better or worse than a clubman gt style for stopping and wondered if Rover mini gained more room on inner guard

What happens when you need to service or repair that damn thing miles from anywhere?

Stay with a VH44 :idea:

Personally I cant see why it would stop any better the a S or GT setup. Any booster will reduce pedal effort. It will still be in the way whenever you want to work in there! To me its just more linkages and modifications required for the same job.
I would look at pad compounds and calipers if looking for improvement.
My thoughts :)
