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.

    Well 80 lbs is not that much, so you have softer brakes in your bimmer. However this depends a lot from car to car, brake system to brake system and so on. So on some cars you will find that you need over 200 lbs of force for peak pressure and 50 for everyday use. It’s worth giving this manual brake thing a try tho.
