I went manual Wilwoods some time ago as well. I did end up going with their master mostly because their proportioning valve set-up was nice and clean when packaged up. No regrets.

The car was always a manual set up and way back it was my daily driver. Manual brakes was never a concern because I didn't own anything else that had power, I just didn't know any different. Now that I'm older and have been driving modern cars it does take a little reminder how it will behave but very solid performance.

Jason, question if you don't mind. I recall seeing one of your videos where you replaced the rear lines with a smaller diameter. Did you do this to optimize the manual setup and/or to avoid the use of an adjustable prop valve?
