I'd like to emphasize one of CPU Zapper's points as being uber important: Dot 4 Silicone Racing brake fluid. This stuff makes a world of difference in hard braking.

My next 2 cents worth is the Brake Lines. If you have stock 20 year old brake lines and are driving hard and fast on them . . . you should win a Darwin Award. Old brake lines blow out suddenly!

I stuck some Goodrich braided steel brake lines on a while back, those combined with Silicone Racing brake fluid and upgraded rear pads seem to be a good working combination for me.

Side by Side racing has rear tie rod sets that seem to have a pivoting ball joint at the inner end. I've heard that this is a mod that is supposed to reduce "Bump Steer", or the twitch. Has anyone got any experience to relate, or engineering level info to add on this Mod? I have them installed, but I haven't driven on them enough to notice the difference. My car is on jackstands again, hence the name "Jackstand Queen".
