The pedal pressure that you have to exert is going to go up. If you have the brembos, why are you worried about weight?

Tell me what you intend to do with the car, and I can make a better recommendation. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Topspeed runs, ect......as for weight, every litte bit counts! I am running a solid roller in the car...and I don't want to run into any vacume problems. I can run the stock master/power setup and a vacume pump, as a last resort....if you think pedal pressure will be to high?

you will just have to push the brake pedal harder to get the same stopping power w/o PB.

Default Manual brakes with Brembos???

Im setting up my braking system, and was wondering if there was a manual brake master that would work with big brakes? I have Brembos for the front...and I would like to ditch the power brakes (weight, cam size, ect), but I don't want to run into any problems stopping. Thanks for the info!
