Brake upgrade?
Posted: Sun Apr 14, 2019 9:15 am
Hello All
I just pulled the van out of the winter slumber. A little later this year as we have had quite a bit of snow this year.
Now I start to create a list of "to do's" for the van. We are talking about a trip next year that will take us through mountain passes. Something that my wife is now insisting on is a brake upgrade. Some years back traveling through Yosemite we experienced brake fade and were lucky to pull off just in time. She didnt like that.
The van 82 westy is set up stock with 14" wheels.
What are my options? I have looked at the big brake kits from Bus Depot and GoWesty. Is this the only way to go? Can I do anything to the existing that may make it better.
Yes driving style is a big part but is still want that assurance.
