Update on the brake job and pedal problem

[DesTRucTO]

So i did brakes all the way around. First time turnin the rortors and new ceramic brake pads for the front, got new drums and shoes and hardware for the rears and it was only 130 at Autozone A mechanic buddy of mine helped me out with doin the rears and then we bleed the lines to makes sure there was no air and the pedal reacts faster but is still as sqwishy as before... he noticed lil floaters in my res. and said he thinks i need a new master cyl.

yea when i got done doing all 4 corners on my truck, the rear brake cylinders blew. that suckd! maybe its time for you anyways to do the Hydroboost and stainless steel lines anyways

 

[DesTRucTO]

how much does the lines and booster run? i noticed atomic that we have very similar trucks... how many inches is the top of your fender well from the ground? mine stock sits at 36 level and i wanna lower mine but dot kno how much...

 

[AtomicHoe094]

not sure on the booster for ya. the lines i bought in a huge roll then did everything my self. put all new fluid and shit in them.. ill go outside and measure them right now.. is yours 36 at all 4 corners??

wait fender well?? like the top most part of your fender on the outside of your truck right? the lip??

and im at 31 1/2" all the way around....

 

[DesTRucTO]

ya the lip lol my bad... wel i measured again and im at 32 all the way around but i kinda wanna drop it like an inch.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

what size rims you have? seriously 32? that cant be right. im lower then a stock hoe i know that

 

[DesTRucTO]

just my stock 17s with 265/70 tire... mines sits about as low as yours in now

 

[AtomicHoe094]

thats weirrd.. i have 16s and im not sure my tire.. 225 sounds good, maybe 65 or 60..

Are we talking fender heights or brakes? If you are getting a new master clylinder get one off a newer NBS, I am told they fit. The bore is larger allowing more pressure to the brakes. Also if you want, look into the firm feel master cylinder from SSBC

 

[AtomicHoe094]

fender height lol.

 

[clean454]

damn im 34 1/4 up front and 35 even in the back i need more drop!!!!! its addicting

 

[bowtiefreak]

[DesTRucTO]

Can you provide more info on the nbs master cylinders fitting on the obs. I need a new master and would love to upgrade by just putting a newer style on.

I'd love to do a hydroboost but can't get anyone to talk about it. Everyone just acts like its taboo or something

usually a bigger forum would be best, FSC or GMfs. A couple ppl did the swap here and there was a good thread about it, but idk
