  1. Freeplay in stock S197 GT brake pedal

    I think I asked you before, would you make me a vacuum booster with this adjustable pushrod to fit my S197 GT? I have assembled a GT500 4 piston Brembo 14 front and a 13.8 rear with the relocation brackets but I need this before I start.
  2. Freeplay in stock S197 GT brake pedal

    I am still chasing this soft long travel brake pedal after just now doing a brake job. Im interested in what you have done, can you duplicate? On the discbrakesrus website they have a similiar pushrod as you show, but they havent answered the application question for me. My wife is the...
  3. Freeplay in stock S197 GT brake pedal

    I havent mechanically touched my car since this this discussion (last Dec) except I just did a brake job and even after careful bleeding still the soft long pedal remains. I replaced the rear calipers, semi metallics all the way around and put in a Powerstop braided steel line kit. Marginal...
  4. Brakes for Noobs

    In ETenn you have Summit Point (and its daughter tracks) CMSP, Charlotte MTspeedway (has an inside roadcourse as well), Rockingham, Road Atlanta, Atlanta MTR speedway and Roebling Road all within driving distance. New courses in middle Tenn and in FLA. I forgot VIR.
  5. Freeplay in stock S197 GT brake pedal

    So essentially you have made the freeplay in the booster/master cylinder able to be minimized by the piece in the picture? You actually get a hard pedal at the beginning of the stroke? MY 18 GT with PP1/Brembos is like that, hard and fast pedal. When I shift between the cars (07 Shelby GT)...
  6. Freeplay in stock S197 GT brake pedal

    Terrible, I guess the best I can do is semi-metallic pads, braided ss lines and a good bleed. I will definitely look at the rear brackets. I know it will never be like my 18 GT PP1 car/Brembos. I have looked at the big brake upgrades using Brembos and big rotors and bracket relocation/rotors...
  7. Naturally Aspirated mods for Fast Road GT

    Reading your post. Im in Elizabethton. I have a 18 GT with the PP1 and a 07 Shelby GT.
  8. Freeplay in stock S197 GT brake pedal

    Well, when it warms up I will install what Santa left me, some Koni Reds, adjustable panhard and Powerstop line kit...and measure the play in the master cylinder/power booster and see if I can make an adjustment just like my old Foxes, 2-3 turns of that little acorn nut did wonders.
  9. Freeplay in stock S197 GT brake pedal

    How do you adjust the free play out of the stock system? Before I do any mod I need to maximize what I got. Pictures helpful.
