Default Todd, you know we have had lots of

emails on this very subject. After speaking to Ron after he changed his to the electic/power brakes, all of his problems went away.

I think my problem is my masters are on the verge of being too small so the knockback that I am getting is amplified due to the small volume of fluid. When I go up in size (master) the pedal is too heavy and I can barely get the car to stop to my liking.

I am making the move to power brakes very soon. Going to the DSE booster route as my motor makes plenty of vaccum. Gotta love an LS motor

Maybe I have gotten old and soft, but I love the brakes on my wife's M3 convertible. If I had to do a full 20 minute session on a track that had a lot of braking zones I would be worn out mentally and physically with my car...and I go to the gym. I am on the Corvette Forum almost everyday, and the guys that are tracking their cars are all running power brakes with the factory ABS. They are upgrading to different calipers and pads.

Rupp WAS using the same wilwood set-up with the 7/8's Wilwood master.

On a side note: I purchased a set of Wilwood "B" pads and they were unbelieveable. If I could run those all of the time I would not change a thing, unfortunately, they are noisey, hard on rotors and very dusty. We all know how expensive the Wilwood rotors are...
