Need whole new brake package for 1970 A-body, looking for input

[CreepinDeth]

I can confirm the C5 booster push rod is not adjustable.
I can't say in regards to the 2002 Camaro master bore size wise. I just go with a NAPA unit.

Yeah I did some more looking into it, and that's the end result I discovered as well. The C3 vette's is adjustable.
I just ordered a 9" dual diaphragm for the GM A-Body with a Wilwood 1" bore master & prop valve from Pirate Jacks.

My C5 calipers arrived today, along with my CPP A/F/X spindles.
Now I just need to get the rest delivered so I can begin ripping it apart and rebuilding.

Thanks for the input

While I understand your point, I would counter that comparing Gen 9 and Gen 10 Accords (with and without iBoosters) is not the same as comparing a 1970 Cutlass with a vacuum booster vs. with a iBooster. There is proprietary software loaded into the iBooster in OE applications that customizes pedal feel and makes it play nice with abs and collision avoidance systems. None of that is present in a retrofit application, only the pedal position sensor is utilized. In a retrofit application the difference in braking performance isn’t just noticeable, it’s dramatic.

Fair enough, I will just wait for the proof to be shown in autocross or something along the lines of race tested and proven over X time.
Forgive me if I'm just anti-tech in this regard with all the over-complicated systems I've got to deal with daily,

I just bought and sold a new Hybrid SUV I was testing out for 3 years.
Just sold it because of the overcomplicated electronics, I got rid of it and went back to an Accord for DD



I'm noticing a pattern of overcomplicated electronics, failures and costly repairs. I want to K.I.S.S. my setup with a multi-decade proven setup for now.

None of the pictures I posted are of show cars, all are drivers, but I’ll pass your kind comments along to those customers! One of these is my own, 10k miles on the install and driven regularly.

Understood, didn't know if the units were actually being used or they were just installed in expensive furniture. Do you know of anyone using them in recreational racing events?

Bosch makes millions of iBoosters every year. They are incredibly robust and likely up to the challenge, but my experience is that assisted braking on track cars is not optimal. I don’t personally know of any of our customers that are tracking their cars other than in a straight line but it wouldn’t surprise me if some do.

What do you guys recommend for the front brake frame mounted hard line to flex line mounts??
These are the OEM ones that I took off and theyre all jacked up

Need a new hard to flex line option to secure to frame
Whats some good recommendations??
Also any preference for flex lines for rhe C5 upgrades?

Im not the best at knowing which brake line sizes to go with either …lol
Any guidance would be appreciated. C5 front, Ls fbody rears, and 1” bore master 9” Dual booster

Are you removing the stock distribution block (on inside of frame)? You can run the front (MC) to a T and from there to the front lines. For the rear, just plumb in an inline prop valve to the rear lines. I would call Tobin at Kore3 and get the stainless flex lines from him.

Can you shoot me the link for the setup for an A body? I have manual brakes with a wilwood big brake kit and can't stand it anymore. Also if you have and pictures of the setup installed on a A body preferably 71 chevelle. Thank you

Kickass setup; is anyone on this board using it ? Anyone have a build thread or installation video ?
