So we just took it out for a spin and the brakes are very very different. They're hard to press..there's very minimal pedal movement.. it feels like pushing my foot against a solid block wall. Idk i'm not positive but I think I may need to re-bleed them or something, when I drove the car & pushed the brakes as hard as I could, I couldn't lock them up when I tried to If you haven't ever driven a car with no booster, I suggest trying it to know what it feels like. We played with the prop valve and it's gonna take some fine adjustments to figure out where I really like it. All in all, it looks great.. it was a pretty extensive install, be sure to set aside lots of time for the installation, but it wasn't impossible. Double check you'r kit to be sure you have all the parts. Chase Bays is really good at taking care of anything you need. They are quick with e-mails and phone calls and are available to help with any problems. A+ for customer service :]
I'm planning on driving it to work tomorrow and i'll see how it feels.. we're gonna take out the vacuum block to tighten a fitting cause there's a small leak but other than that I'm satisfied !

nahhh... (assuming you're talking about the prop valve??) like I said, there is more than enough line to relocate the prop valve to wherever you want it. I just chose that spot because I like it.

for now i'm running stocks in the rear BUT I have everything to hook up 04 Sti Brembos, just waiting for pads. The fronts are Sentra Spec V Brembos, they bolt right up.


Whelp.. after driving it a bit and maybe re-bleeding the lines i'll get back on here and let everyone know how it goes. Thanks for reading and lmk if you have any other questions!
