Has anybody tried this,
http://www.dansperformanceparts.com/bug ... ytcbh2.htm
It said made in the USA but is it any good.
I would like to upgrade my brake pedal assembly. Its stock VW now.
I have a rear disc setup (not on yet) and looking for a pedal assembly and turning brakes to do it all at the same time.
I would like to save money if I can but I don't want to buy stuff that wont last.
Any suggestion?
Thanks, Norm

Jamar makes a good product. I don't think you will go wrong. I would buy that over the EMPI offering.

Thanks for the input.
It look like a good deal. I know its no CNC unit but it doesn't have the price of a CNC either.
I'm almost finished with my engine swap. I need to hook up the gas pedal.
I was checking the clutch adjustment and noticed that it seems like with the Kennedy pressure plate that the stock clutch cable may not be up to working with it.
It feel like it is stretching.

With heavier plate load pressure plate you will more than likely keep breaking cables.. Go hyd.

I think your right about the cable. Its not running yet but will be very soon.
I ordered the pedal assembly and slave cylinder yesterday.
Now to decide single or dual handle cutting brake. Both have their advantages.
I'm in Fl. so not a lot of hill climbing (if any at all). Most lee trail riding.
Any input for which would be better?

i also like the single! but like he said its a matter of opinion, if you are mostly trail rideing then you will most likely be better off with a dual handle my 2 cents :wink:
