I guess I didn't realize this thread was still active! Thanks for all the input.

I am just going to bite the bullet and get some new rotors for the front, add some D52 calipers, rear disc conversion, new brake lines and good brake pads and see what happens. I presently have a Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve. Most of my stuff is really old anyway so it wouldn't hurt to be replaced. If the performance isn't where I want it to be I can upgrade the front brakes to larger rotors pretty easy it will just cost me wheels and tires, but I am kind of old school and like the 15" wheels!

Interesting comment about tires was made here too. Might be something I need to look closer at for braking performance.

Thanks for all the comments on this thread as I am getting to the point of brakes!
