BEST FOX MUSTANG RACING MASTER CYLINDER MANUAL
Q: Why is the Maximum Motorsports manual brake conversion kit the best?Ī: It is the best because each component was carefully designed to do the task required. Choose a master cylinder size that properly matches up to the front and rear brakes on your Mustang.Designing the brake system to have more rear bias will avoid prematurely locking the skinny front tires, and take advantage of the greater amount of rear grip. For example, a drag race car with big sticky rear tires and skinnies up front will need a brake system with a rear brake bias much higher than 30%. Sticky tires have more grip, and will provide more stopping ability. In the end, braking ability is determined by tire grip.Properly sizing the front and rear rotors, as well as the front and rear caliper piston areas, to be close to a front/rear bias of 70%/30% will provide the best braking performance.An adjustable brake-proportioning valve will allow adjusting the rear brake pressure for the best front to rear bias on your particular Mustang.For example, swapping GT rotors to larger diameter 13" Cobra-sized front brake rotors will provide a significant reduction in stopping distance. Swapping to larger front discs will greatly improve the stopping ability.The soft pedal feel from hose expansion is more noticeable with manual brakes than with power brakes. Stainless steel braided brake hoses will reduce hose expansion, and provide a firmer pedal feel.The stock Traction-Lock differential should have the clutches shimmed tightly to minimize axle endplay. That will cause an intermittent low pedal that is much more noticeable with manual brakes than with power brakes. Any axle endplay will contribute to increased rear pad knockback.Road-raced Mustangs need friction material suited for the temperatures encountered on the track. A street-driven Mustang needs pads with a high coefficient of friction when cold. High performance brake pads, matched to how you use your car, should be installed.Without power-assist, everything else in the brake system needs to work as well as possible. You should improve the rest of your brake system as much as your circumstances allow. Q: Besides the Manual Brake Conversion Kit to mount the master cylinder, is there anything else I should do to my brake system when I convert to manual brakes?Ī: Yes. In all of those situations, converting to manual brakes may be the best solution.
Turbocharged and supercharged engines may not have enough vacuum available for consistent braking with vacuum-assisted brakes.Brake modulation and control can be improved by converting to manual brakes. Pedal feel when road racing or open-tracking may be very inconsistent due to the vacuum level fluctuating from extended periods of wide-open throttle.Some engine conversions, such as a 4.6L swap, may not allow enough room for the vacuum booster.Mustangs with low vacuum due to a big camshaft may lose power assist at the worst possible time, greatly lengthening the stopping distance.Q: Why would I convert from my power brakes to manual brakes?Ī: There are several situations where vacuum-assisted power brakes may cause a problem that can be solved by converting to manual brakes.
