Couple of comments about brakes...and fixes

I may get it if I cant find adapters for the c5 master

I think It would be cheaper to use the master above than to adapt my current master

The Speedway master cylinder looks nice. A couple things pop into my head. I wonder what the weight comparison is between that m/c and the C5 unit? And, the Speedway unit is a one inch bore. Anybody recall what the C5 unit is? With the stock C3 calipers I used to get a lot of pad taper wear, and after a few long track sessions I'd run out of pedal. A 1 inch m/c would deliver less fluid volume than the present 1 1/8 inch system I have. But, now that I've got Wilwood calipers on the C4 suspension, it may not be an issue if the Wilwood pads wear more evenly than the Delco caliper pads.

Edit: I just looked back on an old post reply from TT indicating that the C5 m/c bore is one inch. Thanks again TT.

The j56 brackets reduce pad taper, I think I may try to make my own

The C4 master is 1" bore like the speedway, I may be getting rid of mine. I might just go to a regular iron MC right now so I don't have to get funky adapters

My hawk pads destroy the rotors rather quickly right now, I'm not sure how much the pads wear though, I'll compare them to a new set I have

Can you run old pads on new rotors?
