75 Years of Braking Precision: The Sweeting Performance Legacy

Sweeting Performance (operating alongside Power Brake Service) is a third-generation brake systems engineering manufacturer based in Huntington Beach, California. We specialize in custom-engineered, high-capacity, and obsolete power brake solutions rather than mass-distributing economy grade parts.

Our foundation in precision manufacturing began in 1950 when the company was founded by George Sweeting, a former World War II aerospace brake engineer for Lockheed. Today, we carry that aerospace-grade precision into every bespoke hydraulic, air-hydraulic, and electro-mechanical brake system we build. From classic muscle cars to defense vehicles, we engineer systems that solve complex fluid dynamics, hydraulic pressure, and low engine vacuum constraints.

Every custom setup is assembled to order in Huntington Beach to ensure do-it-once reliability.

From WWII Duck Boats to 1,000-HP Street Machines: We speak custom.

When you build a vehicle that doesn't fit into a standard vin number search, finding a brake system can feel impossible.

Sweeting Performance acts as the universal translator for custom machinery. Whether it’s a city trolley, a stretched limo, an off-road race rig, or a classic muscle car with a modern powertrain swap, we take your unique collection of parts and translate them into a unified, high-performance braking system.

Tell us what you're building, what components you're running, and what you need it to do. We'll handle the rest.

Built Once. Serviced Anywhere: Powerful stopping power shouldn't mean high-maintenance headaches.

A custom brake upgrade should solve your problems permanently, not create a new maintenance nightmare down the road.

Sweeting Performance engineers our custom brake systems to be incredibly robust, surprisingly simple, and near-indestructible. By integrating standardized, premium-grade wear components into custom-machined bracketry, we ensure that your system isn't just a pleasure to drive—it's remarkably easy to service for decades to come, no matter where you are.

Do it once, do it right, and never worry about your stopping power again.

That moment when a complex problem suddenly makes sense.

There is a distinct moment during a consultation when a builder’s frustration turns into total relief. They’ve been chasing a soft pedal, noise, or low vacuum for weeks, getting conflicting answers from everywhere else.

We ask a few precise questions about their setup—their vehicle, engine mods, pump and steering unit, and front and rear brakes—and map out exactly why the physics aren't working. In a single conversation, weeks of confusion evaporate, replaced by a clear, step-by-step path to a vehicle that stops on a dime.

We don't just sell components. We deliver the exact answers that get your machine performing the way it should.

Helping thousands of builders stop safely—before they even pick up the phone.

The highest form of technical communication is making a complex problem so clear that anyone can solve it.

Every single day, thousands of fabricators, restorers, and garage builders use our website’s technical library, diagnostic write-ups, and video breakdowns to solve confusing braking issues on their own. We document the physics of braking in plain, clear language so builders can cut through the noise, diagnose their pedal feel, and get their projects back on the road.

Whether you’re reading our guides at midnight in your shop or walking through a build with us directly, our goal is the same: absolute clarity and actionable solutions.

The Art of Making Complex Things Simple: Real expertise turns complex math into a simple pedal feel.

True engineering isn’t about making things complicated. It’s about taking variables like pump pressure, brake pedal fitment, and master cylinder bore diameter size—and turning it into a custom system so clean, elegant, and powerful that it just works every time you hit the pedal.

When you bring us a complex vehicle configuration, we do all the heavy calculations behind the scenes. We translate that complexity into a simple, straightforward kit that fits right, performs effortlessly, and stays easy to service for the life of the machine.

Power should be simple. That’s how we build it.

Solving Legacy & Specialty Platform Challenges: Modern Hydraulic Retrofits for Obsolete and Custom Platforms

When factory component support ends or a custom vehicle configuration exceeds standard brake capabilities, Sweeting Performance engineers high-performance retrofit solutions.

Over three generations of specialized brake engineering, our shop has developed custom brake systems utilizing Bosch Hydro-Boost®, Hydro-Max®, and our own air-hydraulic boosters capable of integrating into virtually any engine bay or chassis configuration. By taking precise measurements and considering pressure and volume requirements we deliver modern, highly effective systems that integrate seamlessly and remain simple to maintain for decades to come.
