bungy 2 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 What sort of cost was it for your floor mounted pedals? They look really trick... Link to post Share on other sites
matty.vrt 120 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 will floor mounted pedals make braking really hard because you dont have a servo? Link to post Share on other sites
trix2702 23 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 They came in at about 450 for the full kit, I am hoping for about a 50 to 75% increase in braking force, plus I have a heavy right foot lol Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 With the pedals can you adjust braking force front and rear? Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yeah, they should have a bias bar between the 2 brake cylinders.Import duty is pain! Link to post Share on other sites
