    Which Master Cylinder for 4-wheel disc brakes
    « on: May 09, 2011 - 04:27:22 PM »
    Hey all,

    Title says it all, anyone have a recommendation for a master cylinder for power 4 wheel disc brakes??? I've got most of the other parts, haven't selected a MC/booster yet.

    Thanks in advance!

    I can't tell you for sure.  A lot of the masters I see used, look like the ones I had on my Corvettes.   Maybe the answer is in that direction.

    Thanks - I looked at Mancini's selection last night. I guess that's my first option right now.

    From all the builds on here I've seen several cars with 4 wheel disc, just hoping that people would offer up what they selected. I can't seem to turn anything up in searches.

    Give DrDiff (Cass) an email or call.  The bore size of the calipers has an influence on what MC bore size to get for proper pedal feel.

    I'm running M-body 12.75" rotors on the front and SSBC discs on the rear. IIRC, I'm running the 15/16" bore MC with an adjustable proportioning valve.

    Just to wrap this up, I gave up on a power setup and went with manual. The SSBC booster M/C combo starts around $240. Since alot of people are running manual brakes with no complaints I thought I'd give it a go. This car is for my wife by the way, if it was just for me I would have gone manual from the start. We'll see if she notices ....

    So I went with a 85 Diplomat M/C from Autozone, and ordered the MC adapter plate from Mancini. The Autozone M/C looks exactly like the ones sold by Mancini but only cost $35.

    Thanks for your help everyone!
