Hey all,
It's been a looong time, but I finally have some time and money to throw some more money at the stang before I head back to school. After searching and researching threads, it looks like wilwood's have the best reputation.
I found a front brake disc kit from summit for 650:

Noticing it was a lot cheaper than anything I've ever seen, I looked at the parts and realized it's not quite complete. I'll obviously need to upgrade my stock master cylinder and other used, old technology with some of the good stuff. However, I'm a little unsure on what else exactly I'm going to need other than a new MC and new lines. What size bore MC would suit my application? I'm going to keep it manual, I hope the increase in stopping power will be sufficient without a booster.
Does this look like a good setup? What other parts am I going to need? How long roughly should an installation take? I work at a boat repair shop, and have been working as an entry level mechanic, so I'm mechanically inclined...just inexperienced with brakes. I should have all the tools I'll need, including air, and have access to people who have experience if I get stuck, but I'm hoping to do it myself.
Thanks in advance!
