Brake Combination Queries

Hi guys,
 
Im looking at brakes at the moment for my mk1 duratec project (road registered).
Ive read a few things and weighed all the options and i think i figured it down to the following:
 
Front:
RX7 Fd calipers w/ made up mounting brackets
BMW E28 284x22mm vented/slotted rotors
Ferrodo DS2500 pads
 
Rear: (seems a given)
R31 Calipers w/ mounting bracket kit
Audi 100 rotors 245x10mm solid/slotted rotors
Ferrodo DS2500 pads
 
Now.. my question is what options do i have when it comes to the brake boosters etc? I realise i will have to lose the standard brake booster, and a number of people use a full pedal box, brake bias valves and some even use things like 120y bits and pieces etc..
But how do i work out what master cylinders are required with this setup?
 
Considering I'm looking to use an RX7 gearbox behind the duratec, which will have a hydraulic clutch.. is a full pedal box the only real logical way?
 
Any help would be great as I'm great when it comes to mechanical things but when it comes to things like brake ratios etc i don't have much knowledge at all so I'm pretty clueless. If you could let me know what options there are and the best solution would make things so much easier for me to understand etc..
 
Cheers

Hi Paul,
I believe i just bought one of your r31 kits (sent to Robertson NSW).
 
Im glad someone else (with a bit more knowledge) is about to do the same setup. So I'm on the right path then..
Ive sourced the main parts, listed above mainly from our good friend flea-bay. But it would be great if you could lead me in the right direction as to where I can get the other parts for a decent price as these I'm assuming will need to get from a more specialist company like the ones in the UK or Eurospeed or the few other race car orientated companies in Aus..
 
If you could even make a list of what i exactly need would be good. And even a few piccies of when you do your conversion so I'm spot on with what I'm getting and doing, as ill be pretty much mimicking what you end up doing i dare say.
 
Many thanks again your a life saver!

Very nice!
Not sure if mine will get done, still got a lot of bits and pieces to do. I should really start taking photos and documenting everything.
 
Just trying to setup brakes, suspension then diff before installing the duratec. Then the final install of everything for when the car gets sprayed etc.
 
What Peugeot discs did you use? I think id rather those than possibly than the Bmw discs as they don't sit over the hub but behind like escorts ones. Also thinking of using some nice alloy hubs. There the same size so as long as i can get some slotted ones for a reasonable price id probably use them.
 
eg:
 
As far as the brackets, id love a set. Do me a special price because i bought your rear kit as well and we may well have a deal

Hi Ev
 
I have basically modified my single piece adapter to be made as independant sections - the adapter bracket and a spacer.
 
If you're interested i can provide you a price to manufacture.
 
 

Paul,
 
Just a quick question on the rear disc conversion (haven't got to the front yet).. Did it increase the track at all? 
Im hoping it won't as my wheels/tyres are pretty tight as it is (though I'm still to roll the inner edge properly so it should be fine as is)..

Note* Tyre in pic just for fitment.. they're directional etc..

I did find one person who did an english axle conversion and when he measured it was basically the same?

But I've heard elsewhere doing a disc rear adds 10mm track?
Hoping it remains the same, or even decreases it by a touch.

 Any thoughts? Thanks again.

No i haven't yet.. mainly due to it being like this for the last 5 years.
Once i get everything moving again i will. Just getting all the parts now to piece it all together. Cheers 

Haha unfortunately living 2hours away from the car, and a very busy job does make it harder than id like. But its all coming along now. Dare say ill start a thread up in the new year.

Actually at present building myself a car trailer so I can cart it around, and also for future track days

evobda2 have you got a build thread because your car looks amazing and i'd love to see more pics,
Cheers

The rims look very nice. 15x8? Can you tell us what brand?
