If you want to really be able to hold you car on the line with disk brakes, go with the dual rear calibers. In my experience they work very well. Mine are Strange but I would think others would work well also.

Pedal ratio is most impoetant on these aftermarket brakes. I am in the middle of it finding my ratio is 7 to one when I need 6-1. I have approx 800 psi and and going to make pedal correct this week looking for 1000 at rear.
Always listen to the manufacturer of your master cylinder.
It did not click w me intil we spoke at work and realized its like using a pry bar and the leverage needed.

If your ratio is 7:1 and you reduce it to 6:1 you will have less leverage therefore less multiplied force resulting in lower brake pressure.
