What brake setup do you have ? Rear drums or disks ? I have 11" Granada rotors on front and 8.8 drums on rear. I find, if I want to make a quick stop (if that's possible), I pull on the emergency brake as well as step on the brake pedal. This helps with coming to a stop much quicker. This would indicate to me that the Mustang II proportioning valve is not feeding enough braking power to the rear drums. My next step is to get an adjustable proportioning valve .
