Anyone every convert to manual brakes?

I have a project car and basically will be replacing the whole system. I was looking at a manual brake setup. Is it comfortable for street and even some road track driving?

Older car doesn’t have abs, just looking at some options.

Yes I know I need a master/caliper/proportioning valve al configured to be compatible.

    I also question why you would want to do this. The weight reduction is minimal, and you do not get any feel or precision advantages like you do with a manual steering rack.

      Not true. Boosters are laggy, and not linear. I can modulate my braking way better with manual brakes.

      For a street car that’s true. The real benefit is better feel and ease of modulation when you are trying to brake as hard as you can. That’s why most race cars run un-assisted brakes.
