Anyone running manual brakes (no booster)

[dub40sx]

Like most people having a top mount setup you get clearance problems between the turbo and the master cyl causing some issues with the brakes. I was thinking of running the ChaseBays booster delete.

Im started Z32 brake upgrade so I need to replace the master anyways so im thinking of going with their kit or do floor mount pedals. Either way it most likely will not have a booster.

Im just curious as to how many people have run without a booster and is it a miserable feel. This car isnt daily driven so thats not an issue, I just want to know how it feels with Z32 brakes and get an idea of weather or not I should go for it.

I am thinking of going dual master manual setup with brake bias bar... it's the right way to go...

what's this 'chaseboys booster delete' you are speaking of... the stock single mbc is gona feel like crap/hard i think with no booster.. i dunno... no experience but just thinking that.

Idk how chase bays has it for the S13 but for most their honda applications it looks weak. Thinking willwood floor mount with the dual masters. I think how they set it up is .75" for the rears and 1" for the fronts? Idk, im new to this so anyone with valuable input would be good.

I drove dual master manual setup with brake bias bar..(3/4 twin).... Not recommended.
Maybe 5/8 twin will work better, car had z32 front and rear.
High speed feels ok, just very very stiff. low speed, be prepare to slam on it.

meh i have godzilla calves, too soft for me = weak feedback LOL. I can't have anything loose or soft.. otherwise there's like no feedback for me lol.

I'm considering 1" front and 3/4" rear for my front and rear wilwood setup (not z32)

The pedal was just soooo stiff and no play, and hard to tell when it's gonna lock up.
1" front ...you must weight over 200 pounds..

Oops it was twin 7/8 from willwood.(recommended from them) So 1" front and 3/4 rear may feel same.

^That's not a true manual setup and it'll feel like crap for sure :D

Well 197lbs now *blush* :) But not a fatty hehe. Aiming for 235lbs >_>

Edit: currently i have the biggest z32 mbc and it feels mushy to me no matter how much I bleed it >_>

When calipers get old, it loses the tightness.
