What is Difference Between Hydrastar and Hydropro Brake Actuators
Question:
Whats the difference between this and the Hydrastar HBA16? Do I get anything extra for the price differential?

Expert Reply:
Here in the US the Hydrastar # HBA16 has widely been considered the gold standard for electric over hydraulic actuators as it's proven to be the most reliable and quickest reacting. You can't go wrong with the Hydrastar. The Hydrapro is a German actuator that just recently became available here in the US. It is also a really high quality actuator too but just not as well-known here in the US. They are really proud of the fact that it's made and engineered in German, the feel it has improved external and internal protection over the Hydrastar, and it has a swiveling brake line fitting to make installing a little easier.
