Most find that adding power to the brakes doesn't make as big a difference as they hoped for the money spent.
But definitely get a dual master for safety.

correct. most people somehow think that adding power brakes means the car will stop better, but it wont. power brakes just means its easier to use the braking ability of the car.

i went from all 4 manual drums to power front disc. I still have rear drums but to me its night and day. my front calipers are single pistons only. Im looking to upgrade to 4 piston, and getting discs fro the rear. Again, i felt a huuuuge difference from my sock setup.
