Thumbs up Brake Performance Improving

After a little more daily driving and another bed in run, the front brake dragging has almost entirely disappeared.

The stopping power, control, and smoothness of the Akebono/Power Slot combination still amazes me. Still haven't heard a peep from the Akebonos.

I cleaned up the rear brakes and the front/rear braking ratio has improved significantly. Not exactly sure why this is since I didn't adjust the LSP&BV like I had intended or changed the shoes. The front end doesn't nose dive as much now.

This project has turned out better than I expected. Hopefully, I won't have to touch the brakes for at least another 60k miles.
