OK, I need people with brake upgrades to let us know what master cylinder they are running with their set up. We need to know what fits, looks better, and works better. Please also take a moument to take the poll.

I have a Strange Rearend w/ Boyd Coddington Signature Series "Hotrod" wheels and 18x10 rear; 18x8 front.My Tire are 245x40-18 front and 285x35-18 rear. The brakes are 2000 LS1 rear disc upgrade. Of course the brakes is enroute to be powder coated, the rims is still in production at Coddington, rearend is still being made at Strange and i'm waiting on the two rear tires to arrive. The front tires are in my garage.

I am running the Baer track front kit with the touring rear. The car was originally a 4 wheel disc car, so all I did was install the kit and change the fluid to DOT 4, no problems in 8 years or so.

I am still running stock 16" 91 Z28 wheels; going to 17" probably this year.

I'm running C5 Calipers with LS1 Abutment, and LS1 Rotors set-up front. In the rear I have 1LE Iron Calipers w/11.65" rotors. I have the 98-02 Master cylinder with Wildwood adj. Prop Valve. Stops real good, and the pedal is firmer than it was when I was using a 88 4 disk valve.

I'm still having problems finding E-Brake Cables long enough to fit my set-up, with out Mickey Mousing it. I have heard that the 91-92 E-Brake cables are longer, but I have not tried them yet (To cheep to buy them if they do not fit).
