How is your Hydratech Brake system working?
I am considering the Hydratech hydraulic brake system for my car and was wondering who is using the system now and if you're satisfied?

I love it !
You are in my area, if you want to check it out on my 77 I would be happy to let you scope it out. Email me at atkin11j@yahoo.com and we can set it up. Assuming its dry in Michigan this weekend.

Mine works great as well, in addition to the Steeroids. Be forwarned though that the Hydroboost creates a much firmer pedal than the stock setup and makes it alot easier to lock up the brakes. It's not a bad thing, you just have to get used to the significant improvement in brake pedal feel and brake application. It's like driving a completely new car.

It's very quick.....I like my system and it provides more room in an already cramped engine compartment. :flag :seeya Cappy

I've got mine installed, but don't have an engine or transmission yet :cry
Maybe in 2 or 3 weeks I'll be able to drive it.
The Keisler TKO will ship tomorrow, and the engine should be done next week!!
I'm afraid that summer will be half way over before I get it running again!

Best modification I've ever done to a car -period. System completely changes the character of the car especially if your have manual brakes. It's so easy to modulate brake pressure that you'll find yourself testing lockup threshold just for the fun of it.

Thanks for your comments everybody. I talked to Paul at Hydratech and we're going to get together next week. It sounds like a good upgrade.
