A little video, the brakes are quite adjustable, but at this point, not even, as I think the corner weights are way off. I'll have to get the alignment and cornerweighting done before I really have an idea how they feel. So far, they brake very well, but I've not had them braking over 40 MPH, so it'll be interesting to find out how they stop on the freeway.

Well after running this setup for awhile I can say I only have one complaint, and that is pedal feel. Too firm a pedal, and therefore no pedal feel is annoying, but as far as how well they work, they been working great, no fade, plenty of stop, straight every time.

Next up will be new MC, downsize both and use the new MCs from Wilwood that will clean things up a bit, reservoir goes straight into MC instead of hokey adapter.

I've got the car back from paint, and I've got the new smaller MC, so I think I will just be removing the largest MC, moving the other to the front position, then adding the new one back for the rear. I really hope this gives me enough pedal travel, but not too much. Pedal travel is so short right now that trying to light the brake lights with a pole so I could watch the lights, it was very difficult to push hard enough to trigger the brake switch!
