[skatefreak]

actually my 510 wasnt near stock... had toyota 4 piston calipers up front and 280zx 2 pistons in rear...w/ 280zx turbo master cylinder... and a cartech turbo kit..on a L20B..

manual brakes are fine day to day, much more control over them if you dont have abs, i actually prefered the feel of no servo and didnt feel i lost any braking power

[boom-monkey]

Manual brakes are fine, I don't understand why you guys feel like they are a death trap. Like Adam said many people find them easier to modulate. Also they are more adjustable to get the brake pedal in just the right position.

I had manual drum brakes on my '67 dart (10" all around), and a V8 swap. talk about fucking scary...

ah, very nice. I'm about to do the toyota 4x4 calipers and 300 rotors, and i have a kit to use 240sx calipers in back.

why'd you sell it?

When I bought my 87 IS for 700 it have a cracked head... well had it towed and the stupid tow truck driver rear ended me on a freeway off ramp..

Smashed the tiny back all in.... it was the saddest thing ever..
It still ran and drove fine so I drove it till I got the new engine in the BMW then gave it back to the man who gave it to me... I used to race a SCCA ITC league 510. The man I raced for Gave me the car when I was only 17 for free.

What about master cyl size? or is it just 1-1/16th?

Also what about pedal ratio doesn´t that need to be changed?
If you have this whats the brake feel like?

Thanks

Jon Volk had that on his car find him and ask....

This would require a complete re-design of the master cylinder side of things, no? Why would you need to make any changes in the calipers?

[gstuning]

changing the calipers is not needed,
Also the manual setup í found would set one back about $400 or so

gunni- if it helps here is the setup I made for my 2002. Dont ask me how it feels because my car is still stripped waiting for resto $$$. I think I might have to play around with the lever lengths though.

I've got factory manual brakes in my MG and they'll lock all 4 wheels at 40+ no problem. All power brakes do is assist you in pushing on the brakes. It's like power steering, it's only assisting you in turning the wheel.
