ffmedic42 Posted February 10, 2018 Report Posted February 10, 2018 Hey guys, I need to get your opinion. Power brakes or manual brake for a pure stock? I'm going to re do my braking system. I'm adding rear disk brakes and changing the Master cylinder. I'm trying to figure out what would be best for a pure stock. Thanks in advance Quote
WaerRacing00 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 Either way suxs with what you have to work with...trouble shooting is rather hard I've been fighting it for the past 5 years...i finally said who needs brakes on dirt!!! With proper install and bleeding process manual has worked best for me but it was alot of effort!!! Lots of reading and lots of brake fluid!!! Quote
HiTech Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) we run power brakes on our pures factory crap one has disk one has drum .. . prosedan manual , . spongy feel either way .. i.m.o manual is better you get the real feel of what braking you have and know the harder you push the more pressure you apply to your brakes before play out . power breaks in a race car are proven to be crappy ....as for bleeding brakes either buy a hand held manual vacumm pump and pump the air out of the system. or run a hose from each fitting into a container of brake fluid to bleed the brakes ...or gravity bleed . it is rare I use the pump the pedal and hold bleed and only mainly if it is a hurry up deal hold and release pedal does not always get all the air out and or only in extremely pain in the butt system that wont agree with the other ways to bleed .

sm002 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Posted February 16, 2018 I ran power brakes for 4 years no problems prefect brakes this past year I couldn't get a good pedal for nothing 5 different master cylinders 3 boosters ad all new calipers. Will be switching manual to try it out Quote
HiTech Posted February 16, 2018 Report Posted February 16, 2018 Another thing to think of .standard rotors and or brake pads will glaze up fast and no matter what you do changing other parts chasing that problem will be a waste ..will feeL like a bad booster or master.. even worn brake hoses will bite you ..
