Greg,
No, you don't need a booster. The original brakes, when set up right (the way
they were when new) work very, very well. Look at some of the old comparison
tests of similar cars and you'll see the roadster usually had the best
stopping distances of any of them.
The parts may be expensive, but that's only relative to the price you put on
your car, your life, etc...
Deal with the suppliers on the list and spend the money you need to get them
working right. You'll be glad you did.
