Just had some manual brakes installed, as well as the ABS delete, and already I'm wondering if I made a mistake. On the plus side, they save a little over 10 pounds off the front of the car. However, they aren't as strong as power assisted brakes and you can't stall as high. I used to be able to stall up to 3000 before the car would start to roll forward. Now I can maybe stall up to 2400 if I press hard on the brake pedal. Not to mention stopping distance has increased noticeably. Maybe I should have just went with the ABS delete only. Oh well, I'm stuck with them now. Anyone else notice they can't stall as high?

I'm in the same boat Derrick, I'm staying with the Power Brakes until I get a transbrake going.

My Madman manual brakes work great. I can stall up to 3200 rpms. I stop pretty good at the top end also.

I have no problem holding the car on the line with manual brakes, stopping takes about twice the pedal pressure. I wouldnt feel real comfortable street driving the car to be honest.

I did it mainly for underhood room.

It sure does free up some space too. That's another plus.

I have the strange racing brakes front and rear. I wonder if that has something to do with me not being able to stall as high as I used to.

I have aeropace in the front and it still holds OK. The car really stopped prety bad until I had a few passes on it and the pads bedded in. I didnt think I was going to stop in time the first pass, probably shouldnt have made a full pass on all new brakes
