Payton, how do you estimate 100 lbs of leg pressure? I've read that one can exert up to 300 lbs in panic situations, but is there a way to truly know how much pedal input one is exerting?

@Tobin

Yes, I'm running the HPS pads, should have gone with the HP+ pads. Forget the noise and dust, I want higher CoF!

I'll be updating my brakes in the coming weeks to Wilwood W6A in the front and moving my Z06 PBRs to the rear. Trying to decide if I buy 4 sets of line pressure gauges or use a clamping force pressure tester. Has anyone used this tool?
