The reason being, if you run a disc/drum now and convert to disc/disc, then you will most likely want to change out the prop. valve. They are designed to be disc/drum or disc/disc.

FWIW, I would suggest that you get you full disc system and run a 7/8" Wilwood master with an 8" dual diaphragm power booster. You should be all set with that.
thanks, that's helpful. i think the rear discs will not happen now due to funds. with disc/drum would you still recommend the same 7/8" and 8"?
