Custom Wilwood rear disc conversion.......





To match my fronts.....


With this custom rear disc set-up, the stock 7/8" master cylinder was not sufficient enough. The pedal would just drop to the floor when you hit the brakes. So I got one of these bad boys....

Looks great, do you have a picture showing the whole car so you can see front and the rear? Bet it stops quicker than it did stock!

Awesome. Where did you pick up the mater cylinder from.

Yes, they dont have problems. That's because the kit was designed to be used with the stock MC. The calipers that BAER uses (which I believe are off a vette or an f-body) has a very small piston. I believe they are around an inch. The pistons on the calipers I used are huge, they are around 2.5".

^^^^^where did you get that master cylinder, so, are you saying your stopping power is greater than people with baer?

ssbc is is what is on the MC

Where did on my post say that I said "my stopping power is greater than people with baer"? I was specifically answering ISAAK'S post on why I needed a bigger MC.

But now that you have brought it up, I guess we can compare....

Wilwood DynaPro Calipers 4 Piston VS BAER 2 Piston
My rear calipers with a bigger piston VS BAER's caliper (off of a vetter or f-body) with a 1" or so piston
SSBC 1 1/8" master cylinder VS stock

One would think that my Wilwood set up would have a greater stopping power than that of baer's BUT I'm pretty sure there's more to it than that.

ANYWAYS, for the people asking where I got my SSBC MC.....

I got it from Racetech Automotive up here in Toronto, Canada. You can get the MC from any SSBC dealer or SSBC themselves. You can also get them with different resevoir tops/caps: Plain, Finned, with Flames or like the one I have Ball Milled.

You're right, all that boils down to pressure, pad/disk surface area and torque. The larger surface area of the pistons simply requires more fluid to displace, thus the need for the larger master cylinder. This dosn't mean it has greater stopping power. As long as the proportioning is the same, the brakes should apply the same ammount of pressure to the disks. Of course you could change the proportioning such that a light touch of the brakes locks the wheels, or putting your foot to the floor will stop you in a mile or so even with the stock calipers. There is no stopping power gained from a master cylinder. The difference in piston size will create a more even pressure from piston to pad, but with the steel backing that makes little difference.

The pad/disk contact area is going to be the biggest thing between the two brakes. I haven't seen area measurements from either brake system but I'd guess that similar sized systems would have similar pad sizes. Maybe that's not correct though.

Lastly torque generated by friction would theoretically be greater (meaning better stopping power) from the Baer system, having an extra 1" in diameter. However, I understand that Baer's system is the same between their 12" and 13" kit sizes (having called and asked about caliper fitment personally,) the only difference being the disk size. So we can probably assume that the caliper position, and therefore the torque generated by each system is about the same, having been built for a 12" rotor.

What did I just say? They are probably about even.

Very nice man. Your car keeps on getting better and better. Cant wait to see the car in person again.

Is that the "Mr. Parker" rear caliper from Precision Brake?

How does the emergency brake work?

What size hat section and disc?

It looks like the same setup I've been putting together except I was going with the Wilwood polished mc...

Looks awesome BTW!

Is that MC made for our cars, or is it for another car and fits? I would like to get more info on it, but ened to know what to look under. Thanks
