Hi Everyone,
I recently upgraded my 8.8 rear in 84 wagon to 31 spline axles, 9" housing ends etc and Explorer rear disc brakes. I think these brakes have a 1 7/8" piston. Looking at the specs gadget posted in a sticky, front stock calipers have 2 7/8" piston and the master cylinder is 1". seems like this combo should be good but my pedal is softer than before and I'm concerned that the stock master cylinder may have a residual pressure valve thus dragging the rear brakes....
Any thoughts? I'm thinking a disc/disc MC would be better but would a smaller MC bore (say 15/16 or 7/8) give me a firmer pedal?
Thanks!
