Re: Those of you who converted to rear disk, can you feel much of a difference?

Agree. Hydroboost is simply swapping the booster side of the master cylinder. When I was driving my truck(still in the middle of an engine, etc, swap right now), I could not lock up the wheels. The tires were oversize, which may have contributed, but it often didn't feel safe. Not to say I wasn't having other problems, but I figured it's easier to swap to a HB now rather than later. I have JB7 brakes, so I'm hoping the addition of HB will make it a breeze to stop this thing.
