Upgrading Brake Master Cylinder

[kamikazeredneck]

So I'm looking to be doing some brake upgrading but right now my car has a longer travel than I would like before it starts to grab the brakes. I know that my 1" master cylinder shaft should be enough but I still want less travel and maybe something more instantaneous. I was wondering of the 3000GT brake master cylinder will bolt up to mine just fine. I found a 1-1/16" shaft master cylinder from a 3000GT that I hope to be able to use but I don't want to get it until I know for sure.

Have you bled your brakes? Are you using SS lines from the hard lines to calipers? Do you have ABS?

Also, there is an adjustment on the brake petal.

I got the STM ABS Delete so it replaces the front brake lines with stainless all the way from the proportioning valve to the brakes and from the master cylinder to the proportioning valve. I can try to find the pedal adjuster. Where would that be located?

On the rod just like the clutch adjustment. Please only change it alttle bit at a time and test at low speeds where no ones around...

So I'm going to adjust it but should I rotate it clockwise or counter clockwise to make the brakes tighter?

Counter clock wise.

Big Brake upgrade kit will help you STOP faster!

Flush the system, and see if your pads are rotors are still in good shape.

I'm pretty sure you can use the 3000gt mc. May have to bend the lines though. I will be using one out of a 3rd gen eclipse on my car

read this you guys


With any brake upgrade you should take a look into replacing the MC with a larger bore, helps out with the mushy feel. I run 4 piston 3000vr4 GT fixed calipers, defiantly gets rid of the mushy feel.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks about proper brake modification....it drives me nuts when someone goes from a sliding 2 piston caliper to a fixed four piston caliper front / two piston caliper rear set up and then they leave the origional master cylinder thats not designed to run the calipers that are on the car.....Then complain that the pedal feel is mushy with out using mathematics to calulate brake system displacement or at least just trying to fit a proper master cylinder from a car that used the four piston fixed caliper set up to begin with.....it really is a common sence senario.....there aren't many cars made with a set of sliding calipers with 2 pistons that displace the same amount of fluid as a car with fixed four piston calipers, most times you'll have to swap the master cylinder to avoid stepping on the sponge.....

would this work for a 2g GSX?

Should...I have a 3g mc sitting here waiting to go in the car and looks like it should fit just fine. Only is that some stuff would need to be moved around to fit the reservior
