Hi Mario. I think you need to do the math. Math is here:

http://www.pro-touring.com/threads/1...Tobin-of-KORE3

The specs you need are here:

Sometimes it pays to enlist the help of an expert like Ron or Tobin.

Mario, I have been having the same issue with my brakes and was wondering if you would share what you found wrong with your system. Thank you in advance.

Wait! I thought this car was built by professionals?

WTF......

You need a larger master cylinder than the 7/8".

DO NOT LISTEN to people telling you that you need power brakes. That is utter crapola. Trust me -- the right combo of brakes and master cylinder.... that thing will stop on a dime.

Amazing that so called professional builders don't know how to do math on critical items.

Manual, 7/8 bore master cylinder per the original post.

Curious to see where this goes. I know Larry Woo recently went to carbon brakes with a manual master but I don't know any details regarding that setup.
