Project "Payback"

[GregWeld]

I hear ya on the pad knockback....

It may be that the floating caliper is a better application than the fixed (Wilwood) version for THIS application (Auto X)...

I spent a bunch of time with knowledgeable brake people - the factory reps at Brembo - Wilwood and Baer... My questions were always around one factor - DO I NEED A POWER BOOSTER of some kind... given a two ton car... and relatively high power. They all asked me if any of the race cars out there used power brakes... and that answer is NO. So that is why I went with the 7/8" Wilwood manual master cylinder. BUT I have Baer brakes which are floating calipers...

I would think that the larger the rotor - the more knock-back would be applied - as a small movement would be magnified by the diameter of the rotor. So NOW I'M WONDERING if a simple 2 # residual valve wouldn't "help". This would keep 2 #'s of 'pressure' (check valve) on the line...

Maybe the guys at KORE3 would have some ideas??
