A servo would make less pedal effort, but would not give you anymore
stopping power, given a good shove the Spitfires is better than my old cars
with 4 pot callipers, as well as better than one of my parents one pot
callipers, the other has vented disks and 4 pot callipers and so stops well.
Having had to test the brakes out well in my Spit, kamikaze pedestrians. I
feel more than confident in it.
