REFLECTOR: Brake authority

[NMFlyer1 at aol.com]

Although I have not tried mine yet on my 173, I had mine redone by Matco. The 
history is in the reflector, but the new guys did a great job on mine. At the 
same time they upgraded my pads as well. If I recall right, they say the 
combination of bigger pistons, larger cross-studs, anti-flex blocks and the new 
pads improve braking by about 30%. 
 
Hope it works!

Hi Mike-
I have just recently asked Velocity about this very thing- and my brakes
have never even been connected or touched any brake fluid- Paul said "sorry,
no" they would not take any sort of trade in on the Clevelands even though
we can all agree that the 600's will not effectively stop the XL- best I
could figure out for myself was to send the brake calipers to Matco, they
will re-bore them to the larger 1.5" dia pistons for $200 this should give
about 17% more force on the pads at least-
