Man, what a difference! My pedal was going to the floor and I prayed to stop- now-it stops on a dime and gives ya 9 cents back! The installer said I had a great kit- the brass porportioning valve was $200 by itself- I gave $477 plus shipping for the whole kit off E-Bay.

The only thing now is that it feels like the car is trying to pull, feels sorta "loose". It also sounds like my tires (which are old) are catching and squeeling- it's like when you turn a sharp curve and get the squeel sound- could they be toed in or out a little? Any ideas?
Thanks!

If you installed new spindles and ball joints but didn't do a new front end alignment then that may be where your problem lies.

Yeah, new spindles were installed, but not ball joints- they were pretty new. So you think the tires are grabbing due to an alignment problem?
