    Did anyone find after installing the skinny kid kit that their car didnt stop for shit? I also put in a MM stiffer pedal and still my brakes suck now. I can seriously stand on that pedal and the car barely slows down. Im wondering if they sold me the wrong bore size or something cause they are horrible now.

    Bore size will affect this. Also did the kit you installed relocate the rod position for greater mechanical advantage?

    Manual brakes suck. Unless it's a track-only car, keep the booster and properly size the rest of the parts.
    I have SN Cobra brakes on my Fox, and it will knock the breath out of your lungs. Stock '88 booster and a 1" bore MC from a '93 Cobra.
