Just curious why you say this? When I switched to rear discs I could feel an improvement in braking. The car stopped with noticeably less pedal travel... maybe it was just because I had air in the lines before and never new it though...
pedal travel has NOTHING to do with braking performance. idk why people always say they felt an improvement in braking after they installed such and such part. the only way to measure braking performance is in stopping DISTANCE. i swear some people would think they had awesome brakes if someone welded their pedal in place. rock hard pedal action!
if you can lock your wheels your brakes are fine. all upgrades after that are purely for better heat dissipation.
