Re: Are brake floaters worth it?
They are worth the cost to me. My brakes were in good shape before I installed the floaters. The pedal pressure is reduced to about one-third. You remove the large springs which some people have said that is why the pedal pressure is reduced, but the spring pressure is a small fraction of the total brake pedal pressure.
One important advantage is even wear of the shoes. With the standard setup, one shoe is self energized while the other is not.
With the self energizing feature they are almost like having power brakes.
They are a little difficult to install correctly but not for anyone with mechanical experience. You have to read all the available information and view the videos. Your brakes must be in as-new condition before installing the floaters.
