[QUOTE="30th6, post: 720240, member: 3271"] I have wilwood manual breaks on my buggy. The front m/c is a 3/4 and the rear is 7/8. The buggy has 1/2 Chevy calipers on all 4 corners. The guy at wilwood is the one that suggested the mc sizes, but the front breaks suck. The pedal goes all the way to the floor, while the pedal for the rear barely moves. I looked on line and people was talking about using residual pressure valves to get better breaks. I ordered one for each mc and I called wilwood to see where I needed to install them. They told me i didn't need them if my mc was higher than the calipers. He also told me i should use a 7/8 for the front breaks. I do not have a balance bar, each mc is separate from each other, each master cylinder controls an axle I'm lost at this point,It's my first time using manual breaks. Do I need the residual pressure valves? Or do I need the 7/8 mc? I don't want to keep throwing money at it and not fix it [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180926/fcb65fc6b90a0f77093eaacea69ceedf.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
