What was the problem. Old brake fluid and rubber lines can make them feel worse than they really are!

I love my KVR's and ATE Superblue. I'll be installing SS lines when I get the money. It's almost unnerving how much I feel in the pedal now!

Andy W. The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

I'm curious how the 1144's will do at the track. I'm going to run a different brake ducting idea, so there will be some difference there as well. Running the ducts under the a-arms lets them wear away under hard braking in 10a.
The KVR's I had were great...I don't know why other people have issues with them, maybe a different batch of compound or different bedding in procedures...

Ceramics are pretty good, but you must get rich first.

I just called Porterfield and they make brake pads for my 1999 Cougar.

They have two different ones... R-4 and R-4S. The R-4 is a race pad, and the R-4S is a high performance street pad.

R-4 costs $189 for front set
R-4S costs $89 for front set.

I will have to decide which to go with....
