Sherwin,

Will the wilwood kit for the rears accomodate the hand brake? How will proportioning/bias be effected by the more powerful rear caliper? Will the master cylinder be able to provide sufficent pressure? A front kit sounds good, but I would prefer a complete upgrade. Do you have any idea on time frame?

More information.

I have in the past posted a ton of information on brake systems . I will continue to post information that tries to take the myths out of brake systems . If you look at any of my posts , I have not had to change what I post and I try not to make any of the information I post , misleading . I do not make this stuff up , I spend a lot of time doing research , shifting through the engineering data and the advertising BS that most companies post , just to sell product .

From day one I have posted all of the design elements that we provide in our kit and why sizes and different parts are used. We give piston sizes , rotor sizes , rotor design and the reasons that we have chosen the items .

In the end of your post you talk about the kitchen and going to the grocery store . This store has always been available to you , as much as it has been to us . The rotor size has always been a decision of diameter ( fit in the stock wheel ) width ( provide a rotor that would deliver value , and cope with the demands ( the ability to contain and reject the heat from friction , keeping all the components in a livable range ) . We did brake rotor temperature testing on your original stock brake system and on a Pinnacle kit ( Prolene
