Someone told me he thought I will need to do something with/replace my master cylinder when I convert my rear drum brakes to disc brakes; something about the proportioning valve.
Here's what he said: QUOTE In regard to your brake swap, I could be wrong, but I'm almost positive that you'll need a different proportioning valve...When you do it, though, you should see about swapping the proportioning valve and master cylinder (if it's different on the GTs)... Drum brake wheel cylinders and disc brake calipers use different amounts of fluid (typically) and if you swap from the former to the latter, your rear discs brakes won't be doing as much work as they should. This is all greek to me. Help? Is this something I should look further in to? -------------------- |
