Brake parts and kits, look at CPP (Classic Performance Products, www.classicperform.com ) lots of good serious stuff that should be able to fix your ills. Sad to see so many things done badly on a car you would expect quality from. We drive our 40 a lot, coast to coast with points in between, and I am always surprised at the basic things that a lot of higher dollar cars break down with. Your friend didn't get a good deal in the car, but it appears he has a good deal in you as his friend.
