Default Re: Brake Pads

NJK 53 I don't know if you caught what Tom was saying. I converted my Malibu to manual brakes when I pulled booster there was 4 studs going through firewall and master cylinder was mounted in middle to line up with push rod so I put holes there and mounted there car would stop OK but would'nt lock up tires no matter how hard you pushed,so later ended up with factory manual brake setup and seen the problem the master cylinder was located on top set of holes with pushrod moved up higher on the pedal,which of course give more leverage,changed master cylinder to top holes has alot more braking power.
metallic pads do take some heat to work but don't think it would to hold in water.
Have you considered your car just hooks so good that it even hooks in the water box LOL
