The steering feel seemed a little different with the new pump. I'm running the shocks with a little more compression out back so that may be causing the difference in feel on the street. Worked fine on the track but so did the old one. This was just an autocross.

The brakes are OK on the street and good on a road course. Keep in mind on an autocross you have a slalom and many corners in different directions quickly. It causes the worst brake pad knock back imaginable. If you have never autocrossed your car, then you may have a problem. On the road course you have long straights and a chance for a quick pump between corners. It also builds more heat and they love that. I really like autocross and can't live with these brakes........... The real problem is fluid volume. That little 7/8 piston can't push enough fluid to push back the caliper pistons without an excessive stroke. I can't go any larger on a manual system. I also can't tighten up my axles any more reliably and my front C6 bearing packs are as tight as can be. Greg, these will pop your eyes out of your head as well, but just not with a consistent brake pedal.....
