I have to back up everything Tom is saying. I have SPF 2690, the first SPF that arrived in Reno with the "new brakes". I have been watching and listening from the shadows to see what SPF's next step is. I have been told to be careful and not tailgate until the problem is solved. I won't throw the person who told me this under the bus, don't ask! I have driven Tom's car and he has driven mine. Same coaster stopping ability. I do know I have a lack of vacuum for assisting. I have a 60 year old Willys jeep with manual adjust drum brakes, no vacuum assist, that makes my SPF brakes look pitiful.
When I ordered my SPF, I had a proportioning valve installed in my rear brake line because I didn't want the 4 pot rear calipers locking up and spinning the car around. I guess that was a waste a money. I didn't get what the SPF brochere advertised. If you don't believe me, come drive the car and promise you will post a new thread after your experience. ED
