<VV> Disk Brake Effort

Not all, but most. The downside of increasing mechanical advantage is you'll likely make the pedal spongier. So....

> you're installing disc brake components from cars which had boosters.

I'd agree that many of these components were probably designed for 
boosters, but not all US disc brake cars had boosters as oem -- again, 
over generalizations may come back to bite one -- I know of at least one 
60's KH installation that didn't, and I swapped those components onto my 
wife's 67 Cougar.  Worked okay.

Another thing which one might keep in mind is altering the brake pedal 
swing arm to improve leverage -- such modifications should not be done 
without serious consideration or consultations.
