okay i need a bigger mc with my waggy d44's. the brakes just don't stop like i want them to, i bled the hell out of them many times. the piston on the d44 caliper is way bigger than a d30, and same goes for the rearend.
anyway, what mc's are good to swap in?
it is a 4cyl, manual, i am not sure if that has much to do with it.

also, don't tell me to go discs in the rear because i think DISCS SUCK!

thanks,

hum disks suck thats a new one. A MC out of a 85 ford e350 is sais to work it has a 1 1/6 bore i think and it should help your problems

okay discs might not suck, but they are extremely overrated. i have never had a problem with drum brakes, easy maintenance, plenty stopping power and they come that way.

F-350 - plus you dont need a booster... Kiss

Edit: I run waggy D44 calipers and Ford 9" (11") drums out back with a 96' TJ double vac booster and m/c - no problems... perhaps you need to bench bleed your m/c or repace the booster....

4 cyl for life. so f-350 is direct swap huh?
yeah i may need to bench bleed it, but mc' are not very expensive and it would be dumb to take it out, bench bleed and put it back in and then have to take it out again cause it didn't work! i would rather try a new mc. i need to look around and figure it out. thanks
