worthy?

I recently did complete overhaul of brake system on my 200tqa '89 (rebuit all 4
calipers, disassembled/cleaned and adjusted proportioning valve, new 4 rotors and
pads of course, new bomb, master cylinder a year before) and brakes were not good
enough until I replaced dead bomb. I was surprised by its effect on brakes'
perfomance. Now it is very good.
So, check your bomb as well.
