wondering how much braking power i am loosing.

after putting discs on the front the only difference in braking i notice is it doesnt swerve to the left while braking :\

but im still using the small booster, been looking for a big nut but theres not many i can find for a reasonable price. also if i got a big nut brake booster do i need to replace the master cylinder as well?

thanks if anyone reads :)

The master cylinder is actually the big nut part of the equation

The small booster works fine....... most Torries had it that had disc brakes

Don't you have to remove a residual line pressure valve from the master when you do this? Something buzzing in my brayn here. :huh:

Yes you do have to remove a valve


And yes changing avatar daily is as close to work as I'm doing at the moment

I was told to change the rear pads & wheel cyl to suit as well. I just fitted LX all round on the LC (apart from the GTR booster), no probs.
