Wilwood brakes installed

Quote:

I just finished installing new front and rear wilwood disc brakes,what should I upgrade now or add now? I still have the factory master cyl

---

You might be looking at a master cyl also, the disc
caliper has a bigger piston over the small wheel
cyl

Should I get the wilwood mopar style?

---

If your talking the alum master, I would say yes, but
you might want to talk with Wilwood to what diameter
bore you need based on the set up you have and your
pedal ratio

i just got done installing the same setup got rid of all factory stuff.got the m/c from doctor diff & installed a sbcc adjustable porportioning valve.i also have a ? about a first long stroke when you hit the brakes, after the first stroke brakes feel fine,is this normal.

---

No thats not normal, you need a larger bore master
to move more fluid..... if your system IS fully bled

bought a 1 1/32 m/c from doctor diff bleed brakes early today between sholving snow, went back to garage and found some leaks so i am going to bleed again tomorrow after more sholving.do you think the 1 1/32 is big enough.

---

I dont know your system but most likely it will be.
Make sure you dont have any leaks and bleed it good

its the wilwood 4 wheel dics set up .

---

That doesnt mean much to me, is it a dual piston
or single per caliper whats the area per piston, you
can see that its not all that easy to say yes or no.
Bleed it and see, a large bore master will give you
a short pedal travel but give you a real hard pedal.
A smaller bore will give you more travel and a easier
pedal effort

I have a similar "feel" with the first hit on mine. I noticed the last time I has the wheels of the there was quit a gap between the pads and rotors when they aren't applied. I've bleed the living daylights out of them so I know it's not air in the lines. It has to be the first pump takeing up the "gap". At least that's what I think is going on with mine.

Bill that when the big bore comes into play, the
pistons will/should roll back all the way everytime,
and with the big bore you move more fluid with a
single stroke. Whats the bore on your master

I'm using a 1 1/8 master and Wilwoods brake fluid

---

That 1 1/8 should be fine, do you know your pedal
ratio
EDIT
You could put in a 2psi residual valve, this wouldnt
let them return all the way

You should have a 1-1/8" MC with aftermarket 4 wheel disc brakes. WW pistons going back too far, first pump on the pedal feels soft - hmmmm.............I wonder if they copied Aerospace's fully retractable piston design. I do not remember any older WWs having this issue.

---

Bill is running the 1 1/8 master and he has the problem
also thats why I'm thinking they might be able to
use the residual valve
