When I converted to discs, I drove for more than a year before I put power to them. It took about the same amount of pressure as the drums, but I was happy to be able stop in a straight line. The only reason, I put power brakes on last month was because I actually found all the brackets in a junkyard for $20. Now that I have the booster, it's nice, but there's not much room between the master cylinder and the alternator. Talk about cluttered looking.
