brake master cylinder with Eb Miller's brake kit... (Ed, I need you:))

[engongam]

hello guys, I think I am having some issues with my master cylinder, there is no way to feel when the brakes will lock up and my first hit on the brakes is weak but the immediate second hit is much better... I am planning on buying http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=WIL%2D260%2D8556P&N=700+0&autoview=sku this master cylinder, My question to you (espesially Ed) is, will this master cylinder will work with the stock booster and pedals... Will it fit to a 3rd gen with no worries? Another question is, Are the Hyperfirm brake lines better then the steel ones? Thank you...

I am also trying to upgrade my brakes through ed and would like to know this answer .I have the C5 brackets and rotors and would like to know if ed could sell me a C5 front kit without these so i do not have doubles for no reason.that MC also looks enticing so any help will be apprecieated

I bought the MC, I saw some guys who are using this MC with a hydroboost sysytem, I hope It will work with stock booster too. I will let you know...

did you gravity bleed the calipers and bench bleed the master first? sounds like air bubbles in the line if it acts up when it wants too. I am going to use the LS1 master (little smaller piston than the stock one) on my hydroboost install.

[engongam]

Yes, I did but there are 2 fittings, that I made for installing the propotining valve but they were not speherical, My guess is while I remove my foot from pedal, master cylinder takes some (a little) air in it. And of course it will be much better to use the willwood MC... We'll see

Hey there.. I also suspect an air leak of some sort. I'd check/redo all the fittings and rebleed the system, the MC should work fine.
