Does anyone have any comments regarding the usefulness of this upgrade(I'm told that the upgrade includes upgrading the pipes and moving a pedal)?

Rob, the verdict on the brake pipe upgrade appears to be a 100% thumbs-up by those who have had it done. General comments seem to centre on better "feel" and the elimination of brake fade, even after hard track work. The pedal "upgrade" is I believe, offered seperately to the pipe upgrade in order to make it easier for heel and toeing. Comments from Simon (micknall) either on PH or NOC (can't remember which) basically say that the standard flexible brake pipes are perfectly adequate for road use (as you'd expect) but people may want to consider upgrading to the solid (cunnifer) brake lines if they're tracking the car. The pedal change is then just a preference decision, based on whether or not you heel & toe. HTH, Martin.
