What does a brake booster do?
I was looking at different sports cars and saw some noted they had brake booster options included. What does a brake booster do?

Great question! What a brake booster does is essentially boost your brakes’ performance. It can add several hundred pounds worth of extra force to your car’s braking power.
Brake boosters increase the amount of force applied to the brakes when you hit the brake pedal, which gets transferred to the master cylinder and out to your brakes for increased stopping power.
