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.

    Personally, I’d stick to power brakes for a mostly street car.

    As some mentioned (as others questioned why) a consistent pedal feel is the main advantage. Getting on the brakes from a high RPM feels different than at a low RPM with power brakes.

    I have a '92 LS1/T56 Camaro streetcar and a '86 LT1 Camaro roadrace car. Both have power brakes (racecar due to: it’s in the rules). Even if it was allowed per the rules, my ability is far behind that upgrade as in I wouldn’t see a big drop in laptimes from it.
