I'm installing ls1 front and rear brakes on my 67 firebird with manual brakes. Kore3 and touring classics both ask me what master I want to run. What do you guys think ?

OK thanks !

Has anyone run ls1 brakes front and rear, with manual brakes ? I can't be the only one ;-)

Why don't you check out the Wilwood 7/8 master? I'm going to use one with my C5 front and LS1 rear calipers. This is supposed to be one of the better performing manual masters.

I was going to say I changed my brake plans so I actually have a great condition LS1 Master on hand that I haven't gotten around to selling.

Its off a late 4th Gen T/A that had 20K on it. Not sure if you'd be interested but its super clean, including the use only DOT3 fluid sticker on the cap. I believe its 7/8ths and I'd let it go for $25 +shipping if anyone is interested, better to see it used than sit around, & its been sealed in a big zip lock since removed so no contamination!

I believe it's a 1" bore, just like all of the other LS1 4th gen F-body master cylinders, unless it was swapped from something else.

Yea whatever measurement it is, it was the same as the C5 Master which I went with instead since the lines connect to the other side.
