I've had several MOPARs with manual drums all around and for the most part, the braking was 'adequate' at best. Although a painful process for me, I'm quite pleased with the Dr Diff manual front disc conversion. It seems the pedal travel is long, but linear. A good stomp on the brake pedal and the car stops immediate with a slight rear lock.This is my first manual braking car so I'm just trying to get use to it.
