The pedal feels a little harder than the stock setup ( from what I can remember) but not by much and driving around the subdivision, it feels like I have stock brakes.
I'm still bedding in the pads (PRB Metal Masters) but I did about 12 stops from about 100Kph to 0 driving about 500m between stops and then got out and felt the rotors and calipers .... The calipers were warm to the touch and the rotors were hot, by hot I mean, I could touch them for about 3-4 seconds before I had to remove my finger.
It looks like I have "Fade Free" brakes now but the real test will be when I take it to the track ... REALLY looking forward to that.

What exactly did you use to have the brake bias selectable? I just got those same brakes, and i'm following your tutorial to put them on my 70 standard. I'm still looking for some info on how to get the rears on there, your tutorial only shows the front. But back to the brake basis thingy, thats really cool! And you post here makes me more and more excited to get my *** in gear and put those bad boys on!!!!
