Not Ranked
Hoppy,
I too had high brake pedal effort with Vette rotors/calipers and tilton 5/8 bore master cylinders.
I recently put a set of Hawk Blue compound pads on it and the difference is amazing. It now brakes with effort similar to a normal car.
I have noticed quite a bit more rotor wear, but since I don't drive that much, I figure it is better to replace rotors once in a while than have brakes that are not easily modulated due to high pedal force required.
I really like my brakes now and I can buy a lot of rotors down the line before I come close to the cost of a full new large diameter, multi-piston rotor/caliper setup.
Just a thought...
