Default Power Brakes in a Shell Valley?

Has anyone ever put power brakes in a Shell Valley? If so what parts did you buy? Please include parts # or year and make of the car they came off of.

My Shell Valley has the Shell Valley double reservior with the balancing bar.

Thanks,

Killer

I'll be munching the popcorn waiting for the responses. My S.V. has the same setup and I think that the braking power is awful for a 4-wheel-disk lightweight car.

I guess it depends on what size rotors and calipers you have on your car.....

I have 11" rotors all the way around with single piston GMIII Wilwood calipers on the front.....and the SVO brake kit on the rear.

I don't have a bit of problem.....When I was asking Dana at SV what calipers to get for the front, he told me that even with the Wilwood single pistons on the front, it would put you through the windshield.

I have the Wilwood Dynalite setup from SV. They will put you through the windshield. This is the first rig I've had in a long time without power brakes, I'm quite pleased with the stopping power.

I used a 7 inch booster and MC from MBM. Works great.
