Guys,

This is one of several threads I've read re: the LS brake setup. It doesn't appear that I am having a brake problem yet, but only driven her 200 mi. I did make some slight changes though during intallation. LS shipped a 3/4", 7/8", 1" master.
I also recieved a wilwood 3/4" with my TOB assy.
That being done, I assumed the 3/4" was to be used for the clutch, as I did. USed 7/8 on rear, and 1" on front. Changed the rotors on the explorer setup to drilled and slotted. Didn't like the look/quality of the shop made pedal assy LS shipped and purchased and intalled the Wilwood pedal setup from Summit, which has a balance bar.
Also ran the Wilwood 12.5" brake set-up on the front, since the BAER assembly I bought from LS didn't fit and after waiting 5 months, I was ready to roll and went with the WW's.

The brakes feel good under most conditions. Moderate pressure will certinally stop the car in a hurry, but haven't tried to do any hard perfomance type braking yet. Spending most of my miles trying to figure out how to reign that KC monster under the hood.

Are your stock setups similar to mine, to where I will have problems in the corners on mine, or are your brakes just not there at all.
