Finished brake upgrade

[Obie 280Z]

My mechanic and I finally got around to finishing install on new sway bars and brake upgrade, Toyota on front and rebuild rears, 1” Wildwood MC. Improved stopping power on my 77. New hard lines at each wheel. [emoji3]

Is the stopping power noticeably improved? How is the pedal travel? Is there a tangible improvement or barely perceptible?

The stopping is better in my limited testing so far but not night and day. Did some hard stops at 40. Normally the back would lock and get a little sideways. Now almost no lockup and quicker deceleration. I stayed with the stock prop.? valve. Kept the little insert in the MC for the back drums, cleaned drums, looked like they still had plenty of wall left. The new front pads are ceramic and the back shoes and MSA multi compound. Think back were about $79. Petal travel feels about the same.
