I looked into this very closely when having low pedal and poor braking issues. Ken Frey however solved the problems. The Stone system was developed for Applied. It uses standard GM parts and I could not find any holes in the design. However you must install a modified brake linkage because otherwise the pedal is too high. That means it is a permanent install unless you keep your old linkage ( $200 deposit lost) test results show double the pressure from OEM but still way below burst pressure of lines. If I have any further problems with brakes I think I will go for all discs and Stone system.
