Twins ftw..
I have to see what brakes are on my dads red rocket. Drove it by myself yesterday for the first time ever and it pulled up from the top of third in no time at all. Wrote off race car and all running gear put back into a street car. fully built ca18det 20 psi boost I assume 350 - 400 hp in a car that weighs about 900kg.

Hey guys, i'm seeking some help.
I'm new at this
I did a front brake upgrade on my 96 mirage with proton m21 brakes. I got the pads, rotors, calipers and everything for a bargain in good condition, and I also bled the brakes and put new fluid through.
Because i'm a d**khead, I was reading this and saw that I now also need a new master cylinder.
My questions:
Which is the cheapest to get that is EASILY installed (maybe direct bolt on if possible?) that are non ABS?
Will I also need a brake booster?
What else is involved?
If anybody can answer my question straight up that would be awesome, i'll be buying off ebay, so links would be amazing aswell.
HELP A GIRL OUT! :thumbup:

New master cylinder from RPW in WA is $125 or something like that. Bolts on.
ABS doesn't matter for brake master cyl, as the lines that come out of it either go to an electronic ABS pump, or they go straight to your calipers. Master cyl's the same.
With that brake setup, no need for another booster.
Nothing else, just bolt cyl on, bleed brakes and enjoy.

I run Magna single pots on the 276mm evo 3 disc and it almost threw me out the windscreen it brakes so hard in comparison to stock. Definitely take into consideration the condition of these things and maybe look into rebuilding them while they are off the car. More confidence etc etc
