Dave,

A booster does not really give you better brakes. All a booster does is give less pedal effort. My '67 W200 had some real issues with the original brakes also. Would fade very badly with any kind of hard stop. Dad always said the only time it would stop was pulling a trailer. LOL. I had exactly the same brakes on a '73 W200 and it stopped OK. Never faded out. I would guess it had better quality lining. Now that I own the '67 I did put an '84 1 ton rear axle in it with larger rear brakes. I also happened to find a standoff booster setup in a wrecking yard '67 D200 so I grabbed that and installed it also. Along with top of the line bake lining I have all the brakes I would ever need. Very happy with them. Even though I used top line shoes I had an issue with the first rear pair not braking straight. Pulled to one side. After changing those out it works great.
