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.

      Nah. I’ve driven 3800 lb street cars with aftermarket manual brake systems, race car shit, no production parts. It’s excellent. The feel and modulation need to be experienced to understand. Pedal effort is much, much higher than power brakes, obviously. The real benefit is feel - you know exactly how much braking force you’re applying, so you can brake right at the threshold.
