a ppv will mess with the brake bias, y would you want to do that? if your brakes can still lock up theres no need for a bigger booster. pad life is dependent on the pad compound. To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

Re: Drums--->Discs SPELLED OUT

Kick ass thread. I'm hoping to get the money together this summer for this conversion. It's already an EX with ABS, so, I'll just need to get my hands dirty.
With the exception of a few spelling challenged people with no concept of searching previous posts, I have been quite impressed with the amount of knowledge being throw around in these forums. Thanks guys.
