Hi Sambo

Its all about a strong right leg when the power assist comes into play it multiplies your effort.

Mind you the brain has to be trained to accept the fact that more effort is required.

I haven't owned a non power assisted brake car since the late 60's.

When the brakes warmed up there was a lot more feel with the pedal and less effort was required or I was used to the situation.

Fitting smaller diameter master cylinders to the brake system will decrease the effort you have to make on the brake pedal.

But the braking of the car in the end was awesome.

Cheers

Brad
