RE: Brakes?
if you want to firm up the pedaland direct that force to the brake better, get a set of braid stainless steel brake lines. The rubber ones flex a lot when the brakes are stomped on.
For the rears there is an upgrade to a chevy or GMC 1 ton cylinder that'll cost you $40 and 3 hours time. Searchfor posts about 1 ton cylinders from a guy called The Burning Rom.

RE: Brakes?
for whatever reason, the upgrade to bigger wheel cylinders in the rear was a very temporary fix for me. after a couple weeks it seemed like the rear brakes didn't work at all anymore, like the abs remembers that every time i hit the brakes hard the rear tires would lock for an instant, then the RWAL would kick in.
thought the rears might just need to be adjusted a little tighter, no help there at all. wonder what pulling the abs fuse would do, would i get my much betterstopping powerback?
