My BMC is internally leaking severely to a point to where I can't drive my 95 Corolla. I searched up Dorman and Cordone and both don't seem to be that good. Is Centric any good? Or Beck Arnley? Thank you!

BMC or the Booster? All 3 companies are most likely offering remans. So I'd consider using warranty and return polices as part of the equations. Advanced Auto, Autozone and others offer lifetime warranties.
Notice that Advanced Auto has a 30% off coupon if ya order it online with a life time warranty. Problem there is buy online, if it fails ya return it online.

I'm not a fan of any Dorman product the other 3 being remans. are a coin toss. Unfortunately I've noticed Quality of any part from any of the third party companies seem to vary alot. They may have a steallar rep on one part but totally suck on another! I'd lean Centric,Beck Cordone and then Dorman.

BMC. The mechanic said if it was the booster the pedal would be hard like it is when the engine isn't on. I ended up ordering a Beck/ Arnley. They seem to have pretty good reviews. This Beck Arnley one is up there with the good ones. I didn't wanna cheap out on brake products.

It should probably be alright. I just went to O'Reilly's and got what they had - or what they had to have shipped from another store...

Denso would be the best - or Aisin or whoever made them for Toyota.

I agree that you'll most likely be ok with the Beck (even if it takes more than one). The best price on an OEM Asian I found was $109.00 Since that's what is on my T100 and has worked flawlessly since 1995 should it fail I'll either use a Asian rebuild kit ($25-$30 bucks) or just but a new unit and throw it on!
