Bullitt brakes actually, but they're the same thing. Bullitt calipers, Hawk HPS pads, stock replacement 13" rotors, and SS brake lines. It does stop better, but it's not nearly as good as I was expecting. I know a big part of the problem is that I'm only pulling 11-12 in.hg. vacuum at idle. So I just bought a complete hydroboost setup from a 99-04.
Other than the lack of vacuum assist, what could cause poor braking? I bled the system and pretty sure I got all the old fluid flushed out. The pedal is very stiff. I replaced the booster when I had the engine out a few years ago, but the master cylinder is the stock 172k mile piece. The hydroboost setup will replace the mc so if that's the problem then I'm good to go.
The problem is when I mash the brakes, they don't feel like they're grabbing. It doesn't even attempt to lock up the tires(ABS doesn't work BTW, rear speed sensors broke). The brakes in my Jeep feel stronger, even with the new Cobra brakes. The pedal will only go about halfway before it stops, which is why I'm thinking it's a power assist problem.
Here's a couple pics from the swap.
