Upgrading to Hawk HPS. I do have a Wilwood prop valve and purpose for my trials was to see if I was front or rear bias.

    I just bought these pads on Amazon yesterday and they were not terrible.

    Sounds like you may have air in the system or you are not getting a long enough throw on your booster. Are running hydoboost or vacuum boost? I have 93 mustang vacuum boost and can lock mine up pretty quick. I know on the vacuum booster you can adjust the arm attached to my brake pedal. I am running the kit from Whitby Motors. Not sure on the hydroboost one.

    I have the Forte Hydroboost. The adjuster rod was set near perfect and I both bench bled the master cylinder and pressure bled the system with rigor. I won't rule this out of course and will give it some more bleed when I change the pads just in case. I know Mike has sold a bunch of the hydroboost setups but my experience has not been great.
