[QUOTE="ShelbyGuy, post: 3880362, member: 10042"] ok, i can do this if i nix the hydroboost which is no big deal. i want power steering because im lazy, but i want manual brakes because im a road course nut and i want to feel what my brakes are doing. losing the power assist is easy enough. there are adapter plates out there. it requires drilling of the brake pedal arm to raise the attachment point of the master cylinder pushrod. this gives you more mechanical advantage when pressing the pedal. it also lessens the travel, but thats not really an issue in this context. as long as you have an inch of piston travel in the master cylinder, you should be good to go. i may very well do this mod just as an exercise in frustration. yeah i know its way overkill, but it could be a stepping stone to bigger brake kits. you can dial in the brake bias not only via the balance bar, but also in the piston size of the seperate master cylinders. as an example, 1" bore for massive front brakes, and 3/4" bore for the smaller rear calipers.
