jay briand said:i just finished the 73mm brake upgrade on my car too. what an improvment!! especially since my car is a 4cyl conversion car. i used the svo master cylinder,11" crossdrilled rotors, 73mm calipers, 5.0 booster, 5.0 spindles, struts, Saleen/Racecraft springs & did the 3-2 port brake line conversion. handling & braking are now outstanding! rear discs comming soon.
jay briand said:this is not what i hear or read. Saleen mustangs used the stock 5.0 booster w/ svo master cylinder, 73mm calipers & rear discs w/ no problems. this is what i am trying to dulpicate for the most part.
ram360 said:I know I'm going w/ a larger 94-95 booster since that has been suggested to me. Not sure about the saleen cars, I never researched it. Just might be something to consider if the stock 5.0 booster doesn't work out. Sounds like you built a nice machine so far.
ram360 said:Appears to have turned out good. I ended up going w/ a 94 GT MC and got the resevour for it from the junkyard ($3.50). I figure total cost was about $100 for everything. I core charged all my old stuff at autozone. Only had a chance to put 5 miles on it but so far so good. I have some pics on page 5 in my sig if anyone is interested. Seems to be a popular topic on here lately.
rflow50 said:I see that you did the 73mm conversion. i am doing the same thing, but i have some questions to ask. what part do you need besides the calipers, what spindles are you using and what other modification you did. thanks
8950HO said:Which 3 port to 2 port master cylinder conversion kit did you use,and was the difference fairly noticeable in terms of better braking even with the rear drums?
ram360 said:If your going rear disc you'll have to swap out the booster w/ a bigger one. I need to do that on my other car rear dics but a stock booster.
Same here, excellent pedal feel & modulation. I wouldn't change the booster since the stock one works so good.bestia said:No need to swap out the booster. I did the 73mm front TC rear disc with a 95GT MC and stock booster (88 LX 5.0 with stock cam). Pedal is a little firmer but the brakes work fine.
