I went ahead and bought disc brakes but another Merc guy says I need a power brake booster or the wheels will lock up if I try to use the old single master. Yikes! The cars brakes are good but not real responsive, as you really have to put some foot pressure on them. That is why I was going to put discs on the front, but now I don't know. The guy said just get a booster master and keep the drums. Any suggestions?
