I need names on a good adjustable master cylinders for my 94 Z28. Is there one by chance that is the master and slave as a kit? Or do I need to get a OE slave seperate? Or should I just go OE for both?

Just want to see what has the best track record so to say.Or the one that is most widely used.

Do I need one? I figure since I am changing it regardless I might as well get an adjustable one right? wrong?

I've been through two Mcleod MCs (purchased by POs) on two different F-bods with three different clutch packages:

Mcleod Twin Disk (gleefully replaced),

Centerforce Dual Friction (great action but so-so holding on modded LS1),

Spec Stage 3 (best of them all for grip and durability with good modulation over a slightly too-narrow take-up)

Both these Mcleod MCs were replaced with OE or modded OE
MCs due to either leaking (one even after a careful rebuild) or a combination of bleeding off and sticking.

These parts APPEAR to be of high quality, with the Tilton name cast in the shiny metal body, but I found neither one worth even keeping around as spares. I ended up pulling one off my wrecked 99 to replace the one in the 98, resulting in a DECREASE in pedal effort and ending my bleeding-off-at traffic-signals issues.

I still have to adjust the take-up range somehow to get it a few inches closer to the floorboard, but even as-is the OE part is tons more livable than the mcleod.
