I don't like the feel of 7.5" disks without a servo...Too much effort to stop the car!

My wife felt that way, but now her leg muscles are developing nicely.. :lol:
7.5" discs and blackstuffs really don't need a booster. i can lock Barney's up easily. :wink:

Barney stops fine! Much better than Lillee with twin leading shoe drums. It feels like a normal brake pedal off a modern car, maybe just a tiny bit harder...

I'd hate to have a booster on 7.5inch brakes, it would be way to "sensative", I wouldn't be able to heal toe at all if it's too sensative. I would setup Lillee with just 7.5inch brakes no booster.

My 7.5s used to be boosted, and they weren't *too* bad, but I had a big smile on my face during the test drive after removing it. Even boosted they are a fair bit harder than a lot of modern cars, complete with Idiot-assist technology (ABS)
