So what master cylinders have you guys used with your 4 wheel disc setups? I have a set of GM half ton calipers up front and a set of Cadillac Eldorado calipers out back. My brakes work but the pedal is mushy since the stock YJ master cylinder doesn't push as much volume as I need. I want to keep the stock vacuum booster if at all possible. Also who makes quality e-brake cables in custom lengths?

I used a 1978 Merc Grand Marquis 4 wheel disc master on my YJ booster. I have 3/4 ton gm calipers on all 4 corners. The master was bolt on except I had to shorten the clip on the booster side because it bound a little. I have not driven it yet, but peddle is a little low after power bleeding. I think I will see where it stops and maybe need to adjust pushrod or lengthen booster to pedal rod if needed.
