I have just put aerospace rear drag brakes on the rear. Four piston 1.75 caliper. The car has Wilwood front drag brakes four piston 1.75 calipers. Do I need to change to a 1-1/8" bore master cylinder? And do I need a proportional valve and a 2 psi residential valve? Or will it work with the stock setup. The car is a 90 fox coupe.

Use the 1-1/8 bore, no prop or residuals. we use that with duel rear cals even mounted floor level and no problems. just get it bled right.

yeah. just gotta get to work and look up the old invoice.
you'll need to lose the stock prop valve (brass piece on driver strut tower). i'm not using a residual valve - everything i read said if the reservoir is mounted below the calipers it's needed. but not in my case. car's stopped repeatedly from 150 @ 3300lb with no problems, stops fine on the street also

I gutted the stock prop. valve and installed a plug kit from Ford Racing. I used a proportioning valve from Wilwood. (I like to take some front brake out for finish line safety, etc.)

I relocated the rod from the MC to one inch lower on the pedal. Much better ratio for pedal effort.

Fox body....Strange front and rear.

My MC came from Skinny Kid.....maybe 6 years ago.

I gutted my prop. valve, welded the hole in the cap.. Used a Ford racing prop valve. I'm just using a stock style 1 1/8th's bore MC ( alum body, plastic fluid res. ).. I run Aerospace brakes up front, the rears are stockers off a 04 Cobra.. If your not wearing the harness it will put ya through the windshield.
