<VV> FC brakes

[Bill Elliott]

A much cheaper upgrade which solves 90%+ of any braking issue is the 
additional of Kevlar shoes (I use the ones from The Source), braided 
brake lines for better pedal feel (again I use The Source) and a dual 
master for enhanced safety... along with a good quality DOT 4 or DOT 4 
or 5.1 (not silicone) fluid.

Better stopping when cold, much better stopping when wet, and no fade 
when hot (you'll boil the fluid before you really get any fade).

Upgrading to disks does all of this (plus giving you better directional 
stability under hard braking) but at a much higher cost.
