Okay, so now I've got a few hundred miles on my new Big Brakes. Do I
notice a difference? Subtlely, yes. But I can't completely attribute it
to the Big Brakes.

Okay. First, I installed the Big Brakes on my Westy Syncro. Compared to
my 7 Passenger Syncro, I always felt that the brakes on the Westy were
just barely adequate. They felt mushy, and just barely enough to bring
me down to a stop comfortably in a panic situation. After the
conversion, My Westy brakes now feel as good as my 7 Passenger Syncro's
standard brakes.

On the other paw...as we were bleeding the brakes on the Westy, the
fluid coming out was pretty yucky looking...and since brake fluid
itself is clear, this says to me, that the brake fluid probably needed
to be changed, which could partially explain the difference between my
Westy and 7 Passenger vanagon's brakes.

Still, since I'm planning on putting more horsepower in the engine
compartment, I like the idea of upgrading the brakes.

Now to do something about how much my Westy leans when I'm going
through curves...
