PV544 Pedal Stiffness 444-544

Hi,

I'm brand new to this forum, and relatively new to Volvos. I own a 91 240 5-speed that I use as a winter driver and TSD rally car, and I also own a nice driver 61 PV544.

My question - is there any way to reduce resistance in the gas/brake pedals? I had a leg injury and while I have no troubles on shorter drives, it can get taxing on longer outings.

It still has the factory drums. If/when I upgrade to front disks and add a booster, would that lighten the pedal effort? As for the accelerator which isn't as bad, a softer return spring?

Thanks,
Chris
