Gang,
Installing servos will not improve the performance of your braking, it will only
mean that you require less pedal pressure to get the same performance.
Personally, I find the stock brakes on a Spit more than adequate - with effort,
I can get them to lock up at 30mph on a dry road. Improving them any more will
only make them lock up easier. Of course, this doesn't apply if you're racing
your Spit - in that case upgrading to GT6 brakes would probably be worthwhile,
IM(V)HO.

Right you are, Jeff. Didn't think about that. Anybody ever run one of those?
I don't know much about them. Do they rob some power?
