New to the board here.
Hoping someone can help me that has some experience with the larger bore (7/8") S-10 rear brake cylinders installed in a G Body (Buick Grand National). I have heard that these can be a little touchy (dicey) in damp / wet conditions as they tend to lock up very easily. My car will predominantly be driven on the street.
Since the brake bias will have changed....wondering if upgrading the front brake callipers to the oversized
2-3/4" bore GM Metric Brake Callipers would correct this issue. They claim to have +20% more clamping force over the standard 2-1/2" GM Metric Brake Callipers.
2nd question: I believe the factory Metric Brake Callipers are Low Drag. Not sure if the oversized Metric Callipers (2-3/4") are Low Drag or Non Low Drag.
Since I have converted the car to vacuum brakes and have a stepped master cylinder installed would it make any difference in brake performance?
Thanks in advance.
