Re: Brake upgrades
Have you replaced the rubber brake lines? This simple thing makes a 200% difference in brakes if it hasn't been done, takes an hour or so, costs like $50. It's amazing what a difference new rubber hoses will make!

Re: Brake upgrades
thats a manual brake conversion, its "streetable", but requires a lot more braking effort. more of a drag race thing. Its ofter done in road race type cars, but they use multiple master cylinders, 2 or 3.
