Is it worth the work and expense?
Did you use the Buick Grand National unit or what?
I'm limited on my rotor size since I prefer my 15" wheels. I have the standard brake set up from ERA with dual piston front "GM" style calipers and inboard Jag rear brakes.
I installed Hawk pads up front that that made some improvement but I'd like more.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

One option is a remote mounted brake booster, but that only works if you have enough vacuum to make it work. You could, of course, install an electric vacuum pump to generate vacuum if your engine doesn't provide enough.

It's a fair size, so that could be a challenge.
ABS Power Brakes used to offer an electric system, but the latest update on their website is 10 years old, and they don't seem to be available anywhere. I've seen online comments that their booster can only be used with their master cylinder, but I don't understand why you couldn't use it with your MCs.
