Hello all. Figured I would let you all know that I replaced the original master cylinder today with a new one from mikes, and the stopping distance is way better than before. I can now do 2 finger stops, and not have to pray if I will. Next on the list is some braided lines, and some better pads, but I am much more confident in my brakes now, and lost some weight too.

I found a local auto supply that makes brake lines/hydraulic hoses got new ones for about $15 each, noticable difference, not like squeezing a sponge now
