Reply to "Whoa Nellie!"

I agree with the other responses. The first thing to do is make sure everything is moving freely and that your lines are replaced. This will sound obvious, but is yur vacuum booster line hooked up? If not, your engine wouldn't be running properly unless there is somehow a clog or kink in the line. But even if you restore your brake system to factory perfect, it's still a marginal brake system at best. There are many brake upgrades from Hall's, pantera international, and many others. I'll choose not to endorse any particular brand. If, however, you wish to keep your car as stock as possible, you can make great improvements without a lot of money. The usual pantera outlets will sell booster and master cylinder sets in the $600 range. These will greatly reduce peddle pressure. Next, get rid of your stock pads. I'm sure you've found out that they're hard as a diamond and squeal louder than my newborn son. I'm very satisfied with the porterfield peformance street pad (they make a race pad, but they produce more dust and noise). These can be obtained through several outlets (do an internet search on porterfield brakes). Front and rears can be purchased for around $200-$250. Hope this and the other responses help out.
