Dual Caliper Disk Brakes

Has anyone used dual caliper disk brakes on the rear?

What would be needed for lines...is there a dual line conversion?

Are you talking about two calipers on one rotor or a dual piston caliper?

We sell a dual caliper setup. It is very popular on the big turbo cars, to hold boost on the line. You're gonna need to do some other brake mods to get it to work correctly.

What other brake mods are needed? A proportion valve? A vacume set-up?

I was hoping this would work with the powermaster brakes????

Ditch the powermaster for it will eventually fail and drain your wallet. Vacuum boosters work but not very well IMO.

Get a hydroboost set up, rebuild the stock calipers, put all new lines and s10 rear cylinders with all new hardware and a new proportion valve.

You can then hold all the boost you want.

What is this "hydrboost" you speak of ?

Is it a simple conversion? Where can I find one?

It is a fairly simple system and there are a few different options. 84 and 85 gn's came with them. You can go purchase one of those from the parts store or something aftermarket like a hydratech hydroboost system. Do a search. There are plenty of threads that talk about it.

Dual rear calipers would require a manual master cylinder with the large bore upgrade.
