Wilwood rear disc brakes
RacinJacin:
I would think that the truer your rotors run the less effect you would see when eliminating the RPV - speaking disc brakes.
I would imagine that Wilwood's advice stems from a liability perspective. Reccomending them must put them at a lower state of liability than not.
I can also imagine situations that they may not be necessary - if you aren't experiencing excessive pedal travel and the vibrations aren't causing issues - maybe they are not needed.
Novadude, how much free play do you have on the rod?
novadude66:
Great to hear all the responses!!! The rod probably has 1/4 inch of play in it, and it appears that the MC is returning to where it should. I believe I'm gonna remove the residual valve and try that (very carefully of course.) My MC is not very far below the calipers at all.

I thought of one more thing . How old are the calipers ? I did have a problem once and I rebuilt them and they were fine after that . S+W sells kits for them and they are very easy to do . Bill
novadude66:
They are a couple years old, I'm gonna put a master on it cause they are cheap. Gonna leave the residual valve off of it and see what it does.
novadude66:
Got the master on it minus the valve, pedal seems pretty good but wont know until i can test it out. Remote resovoir sits quite a bit higher than the calipers dont know if that makes a difference or not but we will see....
