Re: Vacuum vs. Hydraulic Brakes

You must be talking about forms of power assist because all vehicles have had hydraulic brakes since they stopped using mechanical in the '30s. I only know low vacuum to cause vacuum assist power brakes to be inadequate. If you need more braking power you should deal with that at the wheel end with upgraded calipers.
