luke, do you still have the first set of brake masters that you bought? i'm finally starting up again to reasssembly my 99 and want to do things really right. i want to get ride of the booster and master and run a dual master cylinder setup. so if you have them and want to sell them, i'll by them, otherwise which ones did you get?

I still have the set of wilwood masters. They are 3/4" bore. Are you planning on going to the wilwood caliper setup as well then? If you are planning on staying with the 9000 calipers you might want to downsize the master bore to 5/8 to get more hydraulic advantage. The 9000 calipers have a piston area of 3.46 square inches while the wilwoods are 4.8 sq inches, or 41% larger. That translates to 41% more effort at the pedal given the same sized masters. Either way you will want to change the mechanical ratio the pedal to 6:1 which considered ideal for non power boosted brakes. Thats easy to do though, just a matter of redrilling one of arms on the linkage. I have all my calculations from when I did this somewhere. I will try to dig them up.
