Ideal booster and BMC Combo for 276mm brakes

[Spetz]

Hi everyone,

I have the 276mm brakes on my car, 42mm piston I am pretty sure.

My current BMC is 7/8"
Not sure what my booster is

What is considered the ideal combo for best brake pedal feel?
I read people go 1" BMC and often use a booster from an auto, Would this offer good feel?

I have a 1" BMC, Standard J-spec Booster, Evo front calipers, Vr4 Rear calipers.
I run Forza brake pads from Brakes Direct at

Ask for Greg Latham. Tell him I sent you.


VR4 Rally car and that setup works for me. Great initial bite and excellent control on trail braking.
Cheers

On my Evo I have..

1" master
Standard Evo booster
Evo 8 Brembos on the front with 5 stud conversion all round with QFM Brembo pads and Ralliart braided lines.

Car pulls up hard fast and straight everytime.

HTH.

For track purposes - ditch the booster.

Wouldn't that make the brakes very difficult to press and not reactive enough?
