I'm working on a 1300lb streetcar with A/C and am planning lightweight brakes with no power booster. Who else has done this or where can I get info. I'm leaning towards M2 or AP.
Also looking for the best coilover shock setup available.

CWR used to market a kit for Valspeed that replaced the brake booster in the FD with a twin master cylinder setup that was made with AP Racing dual master cylinders w/ adjustable brake bias.

CWR doesn't seem to have it listed on its website anymore, but I remember it being pretty pricey. If they started carrying it again, I might buy one.

Let me know if you manage to find out anything.

 

I called M2 yesterday and decided to get their 4 wheel kit and they are getting me the AP masters. I will machine a bias bar and do my own resivoirs. I also orderd a six point rol bar with both harnesses and a full coil over suspension by DMS and adjustable shocks with it.
The post above from me should read 2300 lb car nor 1300lb. But you probably figured that out by now.
I'll take picks of my car as I go and will let you know how I work out the AP masters. I have a Bridgeport, lathe, tig, etc. so it should be pretty easy to do.

That would be interesting. Good luck and keep me updated on the progress.

If you're interested in the Valspeed kit, here's a link: valspeed big brake kit and dual master cylinder setup

BTW, do you have any info on the DMS? suspension? I have M2's Advance Design coilover suspension, and I am quite happy with it. One of the reasons I picked it was because it was quite hard to find ready-made shocks that will handle the 550# spring rate that the M2 coilovers offer.

 

I'd like to go with dual master cylinders eventually. Unfortunately looks like I'm going to have to fabricate my own.
