Critique My Brake Setup

[AAQUINO11]

Hey guys,

Planning my brake set up and want to get it right the first time. I have read a ton and this is my plans.

The car is a 1969 Camaro with LS/T56 and is a pro-touring street only car. NO Autocross just street daily driving. I want the brakes to feel like a modern car. Easy to push and stops hard and fast like a new corvette.

Here are my plans let me know what you think:

Wilwood 6 Piston Front - http://bit.ly/2Ecyqvy
Wilwood 4 Piston Rear - http://bit.ly/2nF7gTW

Ac Delco S10 Style 15/16" Master Cylinder - http://amzn.to/2EBE8or
Baer Proportioning Valve - http://bit.ly/2nDlzIo
C6 Z06 Brake Booster

Couple things:

1. Will the Baer Proportioning valve be the same fittings as the master cylinder?
2. What size brake line should i run?
3. I want modern type brake feel (like a new corvette) Will this be good?
4. Will the C6 Z06 booster fit in the stock holes on the firewall?
5. Will the master cylinder bolt right up to the C6 Z06 booster?
6. Is the C6 Z06 a 9" dual diaphragm booster?

Thanks!

Anthony

Due to how important brakes are lol. Best to ask a pro vs most of us keyboard warriors . Hit up Tobin at kore3 he's helped a pile of people on here . Not only can he guide you he can sell you what you need if what you already have is not correct.

Seems like a lot of cash for street car brake system ... but if you're after the big brake look with big wheels and have the booster/master/pedal ratio sorted to give high line pressure, it will likely do the job.

Weight transfer is a significant consideration in brake setup and an old Camaro doesn't have the balance of a new Corvette or the aid of anti-lock brakes at the limit for various street surface conditions. A c-clip 12 bolt out back isn't quite getting there so may have some knock-back issues with the fixed calipers, but may be masked enough by the small piston calipers and boost. Assume you've done some upgrades to both front and rear suspensions, lowered the car, shifted weight to improve front/rear balance, etc.

For normal street use, braking is typically traction limited due to less-than-ideal road surface conditions and consideration for the traffic around you ... but nothing wrong with overkill if it fits your budget and design goals or if you may get to the track someday (... with appropriate pad change).

Pontiac heads behind that MC in the picture?

Yep, Kauffman's prepped by Dave at SD. Nice catch Skip.

did you have to do anything to the push rod?

Could tell by the A/C-accessory bosses there. Have a few around to look at :)

Nice clean setup.
