There was good info on the SPF Braking thread a couple of weeks back. (do a search) Changing to softer brake pads, pedal ratio, master cylinder sizes, caliper size, adjusting balance bar, bleeding (interesting comments on bleeding), etc. similar to what Wilwood tech told me.
I had great solid pressure, 6:1 pedal ratio, front wilwood dynalite with 11" rotors with street pads (15" wheels) and 2003 Mustang Cobra rear calipers with street pads, but poor braking. It would take a gorilla to stop the car. After reading the thread, even understanding the math, it was easier and quicker to swap the MC from 7/8" to 3/4" on front, (test drive) and then rear. Car stops much better, but since it's smaller MC, the pedal goes down a little farther and just a tad softer.
