hey guys, i have a brake question. do you have to have the vacume assist? my porsche all run 19mm master clyinders with no assist. and so did the 87 tbird. it seems like the opel is light enough?
the reason i ask is that i came across a front clip from a 2000 BMW M coupe. my buddy just rebuilt and front end wrecked M coupe and had the better part of a clip left over. i have taken the dash off of it, absolutely beautifull! and it should fit with some serious mods. i have also taken the steering column and wheel. then i took off the pedal cluster. it has a hyd. clutch setup (perfect for my 2.3 swap), and a very nice brake pedal system, and girling master cylinder.
could i use a larger master cylinder with no assist, or is that going in the wrong direction? i will be using the front and rear discs off of the tbird. my porsches were 150-200 hp 2500 lbs cars running a 19mm master. the opel has a 22mm master. is this overkill? i have to admit that i haven't had my gt road worthy this century, so i have forgotten what the brakes are like.
any ideas?
