Anyone running manual brakes?

I've been researching this a bit lately. I'm just wondering who has done the conversion out there. What was your reasoning, what product you used, to what extent to you drive the car (drag, street, road course), and how you like it.

Any input from those with personal experience would be great.

My car is pretty much a drag car, but I do drive it on the street from time to time. The reason i changed mine to manual was the roller that I bought didn't really have much of the braking system left anyway, plus I needed a master cylinder with the correct break bias. All of my stuff is from Strange Engineering. I used a hurst Line Loc kit, and bought the lines and fittings from SKRC. The manual brakes take a little getting used to, but they really work well when trying to get the car to stop at that track. I have the pro-series brakes, so street driving them isn't recommended, but providing you do not just ride the hell out of them, they will not warp on you.
