Check the archives, I think someone on the list has gotten into this pretty deep, but I don't know the result. One low cost upgrade is available from MSDS, it may be all you need. The idea is not to lock up all four wheels with huge brakes, but to get a good, progressive response to increasing pedal pressure so you can maintain control. Remember, this is a 3500 "light truck" and will take a longer distance to stop than a car. This kit with the SS brakes lines might just be enough for you to regain confidence in the stopping power. If you go for it let us know what you think. http://www.msdsinc.com/vanagon_btb.htm -- Stuart MacMillan Manager, Case Program 800-909-8244 ext. 8208 Getting your share of the Net yet? http://cobaltgroup.com http://UsedEquipNet.com |
