Driving impressions...

Night and Day. Its almost like I didnt have brakes before. Although I'm just bedding the brakes in right now they feel amazing. The pedal is firm which I like. Depending on how it feels on a long trip I may opt to get a different booster to help lessen the firm feel of the pedal, but for right now I really enjoy the incredible stopping power these brakes have.

The car seems lower even though I didnt do anything but make the tires sit a tiny bit wider. Supposedly that lowers the center of gavity. I do know you can "feel" that affect. Who knew??

All did not go smoothly though...As I arrived @ work today my brake light in my guage cluster had come on...indicating low brake fluid levels. Sure enough I checked it out and I'm @ the minimum. And it looks like I have a leak where the MC meets the Booster. I've read up a little bit on this and I could have a bad seal in the MC. I'll have to check this out later an report back to you on that. I have just started the trouble shoot the issue...(sigh)
