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
