    The only fault I can find with my Tacoma is the brake pedal feels mushy. I'd like to have a better pedal feel. Anyone made any upgrades? Not sure about doing the rear disc conversion. Wondering if switching to steel brake lines would help.

    my guess is because you wouldnt be able to adjust the brake proportioning valve going to the now rear disks so you would not be able to "tune" it for proper feeling??? maybe

    Didn't think the rear disc conv. would help. I would be interested in changing master cyl. Is there an aftermarket or factory MC that would be a fairly simple swap? Looked at Brembo and Wildwood, but wasn't sure about what would work.
    :confused:
    Haven't done much work in this area.
