SomeDAT, The rears are probably R31 calipers, I'm pretty sure thats what maddat uses. I have a similar setup on my CA coupe, R31 front calipers not Vl (these are almost identical to the VL turbo calipers, you can actually slightly trim VL pads to fit R31 calipers). Anyway my rear are Starion single pistion with ventilated rear discs, agian very similar in clamping size to the R31 rears. I use a 15/16 master cylinder without a brake booster. I bought this from Datsport a while ago. Car stops fine by the way. Booster will give you a lighter peddle feel but with this combo isn't really required (Depending on your engineer of course).

awesome dude... thanks alot for the feed back. i didnt really want to put a booster but yeah it all depends on engineer, might have to have one. i have used a brand new 1200 master with this brake setup, bleed the whole system and i got a pretty good pedal, just not sure how the proportioning will hold up. i will test this again once back on the road.. thanks again for your response, hopefully i dont have to buy anything else hahaha
