Has anyone tried the cheap brake floater kit ($21.95)from Snyders?

I have them on me Tudor, and they work good. But you have to have everything in good shape to get good brakes.

The brakes on my car were of course part of the restoration and have about 6000 miles on them. I inspected the fronts today and found everything in good condition. I have adjusted them and still feel that if I had to stop in a panic situation they are going to come up short.
Were the floaters hard to install?

thanks

These have been around for years. These will help IF, as posted by "ROD-MI", EVERYTHING ELSE IS IN GOOD CONDITION. Nothing will really help brakes that are not up to spec. These front floaters are easy to install.

I have them on my Tudor and feel I have very good brakes. I did rebuild EVERYTHING and have new cast iron drums and wolven linings which I also think helps.

My opinion,

Chris
