Victim - 04 Tacoma. Front brakes have always been an issue. Was factory single diaphragm booster/stock MC w/ Wilwood calipers/rotors for a long time. Sucked.
Due to the position of the 4wu shock towers w/ the 14" shocks, I cannot fit a dual diaphragm booster. So I've played with ~10 different MC's and have switched to RAM calipers on JK rotors. Still sucks.
So i'm playing around with an electric MC/Booster out of a 2002 4Runner. I believe it's the same that is used in GX's and 4th gen 4Runners. The ABS module is built-on to the MC itself. I don't have room for the ABS module.
So i'm contemplating making a block-off plate. Unless, that is, i can find an electric booster/non-ABS MC... which I've thus far had no luck finding. If I can get rid of the ABS module, I'll have plenty of room.
thinking a 1" thick aluminum block machined flat should work. Or perhaps even trashing the ABS computer and "welding up" the ports in the existing aluminum adapter.
Ideas? Thoughts? I *really* don't want to have to cut off the shock mounts....
