Why is that? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 29 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 29 | A disc drum combo requires a dual master cylinder & proportioning valve for proper brake bias | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | And if you have disc and disc you still want a dual circuit MC for the added safety. You also want a MC with the required fluid volume/bore that suits your new calipers.
If you swap the brakes front and rear from another vehicle you can't go wrong using the MC from that same vehicle.
