Reply to "Upgrade my brakes..."

Mooso,

Jeff's endorsement of Porterfield pads is a very good point. Many have found great improvement with those pads. While brake upgrades are nice they may not be necessary for regular high demand street Panteras. If the money is there and isn't an issue, go for it. But do you know the stock system's history? Have you bled the system? Have you checked to see all caliper pistons are free to move in their bores? Is caliper thickness within specs? Have you upgraded from the old rubber caliper hoses to braided stainless steel? Are the vacuum booster hoses (front and rear) in good condition and well clamped? Are the stock proportioning valve and shuttle valve in place? If so, ae they functioning properly? While a full removal/upgrade should certainly fix braking issues, if not really needed, that money could go for lots of other projects. Just my 2 cents.
