Mike,
I have Bendix all around on my '50 with 70 Stang non power dual master. Also
run kevlar composite shoes. While it stops very well normally, a trial panic
stop
ot 65 couldn't get me off the binders fast enough. Add to this wet roads, N.J.
tolls, or frozen fog and it gets scary. I will be putting in a proportioning
valve
this winter to cut down on ther rears with empty load
