Reply to "New brake kit from "Precision Brakes""

You did not say whether you are looking for street brakes or racing brakes.
I bought a street system from Pantera Performance Center. I have been very happy with it. The instructions were very good and it came with all the little parts you might not consider. You will have to make a couple of small brake lines but everything else is there. Brackets that fit, little caps that allow your existing rear brake calipers to function as a parking brake. Master cylinder. Bleed-back preventer valves at the master cylinder. Wilwood calipers. New larger front discs and hats. You use your existing rear discs which saves disassembling the rear suspension. The proper brake pads. Stainless steel lines and all the fittings. Even brake fluid!!
My brakes are VASTLY inproved. They are not too grabby when hot and they are not ineffective when cold. They are just right! Very progressive as you mash the pedal and with a lot more pedal travel than the stock ones.
You need to be careful in matching up your master cylinder. The one that comes with the kit did not match my brake booster. There seem to be several "stock" boosters and master cylinders. I ended up getting a new dual stage brake booster (which I would recommend) and a different master cylinder.
The whole kit, including master cylinder, was around $1700. Upgrading the booster was around $300.
They also have racing brake set-ups if you're going that direction.
I was looking at Precision Brakes at one time as well. I can tell you that I inquired by e-mail and by phone about Pantera brakes and NEVER got a reply.
If you go with the Pantera Performance set-up, Dennis is very helpful on the phone. I can walk you through a few things myself.
Later, Mooso.
