>>>Except that the reality is that most Panteras with these types of 
systems (Wilwood, JFZ, Sierra, etc.) do experience pad kickback and resultant 
'long' pedal.   It can be a dangerous, or at least highly unnerving situation if 
left unchecked.   The RPV is admittedly a band-aid fix, but it *is* a very 
effective fix.
