Talking Un-Frikin-Real !!

Well, I took the bug for its first drive of the summer last night to make sure there was nothing wrong and to test the brakes ... All I can say is UNBELEIVABLE !!!

I can adjust the bias from locking the fronts only to locking the rear only and the braking power is unreal. I would compare JUST the fronts to being equivalent to my original 4 wheel drums. When I dial in the rears and brake HARD, I feel my glasses trying to leave my face !

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.
