1971 K10 Brake set up
OK, so I admittedly have a problem of over spending on things that I don't "really" need. What I want to do is upgrade my braking set up I have. I am currently involved with upgrading my axles from stock dana 44 front and 12 bolt rear, to a 1 ton set up out of a 1986 K30, dana 60 front/14 bolt rear. So here's my dilemma, the axles are coming with the 1 ton brakes included, and I am not impressed with my brakes as they are now (before the swap). I have read several website's information, and I have come down to 3 options
1: Don't change my master cylinder, the brakes really don't suck that bad, I just have to hope nobody pulls out in front of me, and I have to "plan" my stopping at stop lights and stuff....not the best option in my opinion. 2: Upgrade my Brake Booster and Master Cylinder, and hopefully this will upgrade the brakes significantly, to avoid problems mentioned above, for like $200 tops. 3: Completely upgrade my system to a hydraulic brake booster set up, and triple my braking all together, for like $800..... any advice/experience would be greatly appreciated. oh I forgot to mention that the 14 bolt comes with drum brakes, and I was thinking of upgrading them to a disc brake conversion anyways. Oh, AND I'm running 37" tires.....hence the sucky brakes Last edited by 71biggreenk10; 07-22-2009 at 11:50 AM. |
