Bowler Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) ok then will do.one last question,i also got the sx brake master cylinder resovoir kit ,should i fit that as well as it might have the better suited brake bias spring ??? to suit now going from drum brake rear end to disk brake rear end ,would that be rite ?? thanks glen PRB used to quote 2 different listings for the master cylinder. Supposedly, the SX (discontinued) one was of a larger bore. When I did my conversion, I did change mine, but PBR's listings also state that the standard M/Cyl is appropriate for Disc/Disc setups. My advice would be to fit it, assuming its still in working order. I believe there is a small difference in the Bias-ing between the Disc/Drum, Disc/Disc - but for the most part you wont notice it too much... however, open to corrections again....

MYSTIK[RL] Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) yep i did the full s2 brake upgrade to my cs which had disc/drum and i didnt change the brake master, only noticed a slight increase in the front bias, but it wasnt and still isnt a major concern. but for the most part of it the ae9x already suffered from to much front bias to begin with, hence the larger rear discs on the next model(ae10x) :y: which will hopefully be the only thing i need to do to the brakes, when my turbo conversion is finished Edited January 7, 2009 by MYSTIK Quote

MYSTIK[RL] Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 you have to much front bias, but so do all ae9X corollas changing the brake master should help even it out, (i didnt with brake conversion, but each to their own) the order of bleeding the brakes is correct, ive always had someone pump the brakes until they were hard, then opened the bleeder, i always have the second person call out before the brake pedal is flat the to floor.
