his words were..."they feel the same" in regards to pedal feel and travel. I believe a pad and rotor change are next on his punch list.

Car looks great! I'd like to know how the manual brakes work out on the track, I have great brakes with my power setup, but no "feel" Only way I can tell one is locked up is by the smoke rolling out of the fender and by then it's a little late
I'm jealous, I'm only able to "squeeze" 315's under my front fenders, 295's are much more affordable! Good Luck!

Still looks great. Another one of the cars that have inspired me.

I too have joined the manual brake group.

No wide body treatment for this one. I'll just keep stretchin' her old school style.

Funny dude, had to text you get your opinion and we were both on the same page but when Vince told me he had another booster at the shop and we could always send the mc back if I didn't like it I said F it lets try it. To be honest the brakes feel absolutely no different. Weird right? Serious though...I cant tell the difference.
The pads I have in there initially were great but don't bite like they did when they were new. What I did learn though is that I like pads that have a strong initial bite. These pads when new felt like they were going to tear the rotors apart when I stomped on the brakes but I loved the stopping power. After the use of these pads the rotors are showing signs of bluing and surface cracks but I'm not going to have time to get pads and rotors before this Saturday so I'll make do till after this track day.
