drum brakes- 5/8" vs 11/16"

Post by MarkN »

Greetings-
I'm trying to improve the braking of my 71 n600. I've got a set of A-
008's (sticky tires) and just received a "hi performance street /
autocross" set of pads and shoes from Porterfield.
In the process of replacing the shoes, I noticed that the rear wheel
cylinders (5/8") both leak. Before I go about fixing those leaking
cylinders, Has anybody found that the 11/16" dual piston rear brake
assembly stops better?
Also, are the shoes an even swap between the two styles of actuation?
Is the master cylinder and/or the proportioning valve the same?
Thanks,
Miles E.
