    ok, so this is now the second time i have lost brakes due to this. on my power booster, it has a threaded/adjustable end that goes out of the booster and into the master cylender. you can adjust it for brake pedal travel/feel. reman a-body 73 booster problem is, it keep adjusting itself to...

    BIG front disks (13"+)

    what too slow said is true, to a point. the ultimate factor in stopping distance is tire grip. that being said, the way to maximise tire grip during braking is multifold. weight transfer, brake bias, etc all play a factor into this. modulation is also key, which in this discussion is where i...

    power brake pedal free play adjustment
