Well after readjusting the rear brakes, the pedal does feel better. I guess from what Jim said the pedal won't feel as hard as it did before since my old calipers were dragging badly. The pedal still seems to travel about half way before it gets hard, but I've been driving cars with power brakes since I've been playing around with my brakes. Also, I've been pumping the pedal so much I don't know what it should feel like anymore, but it is definitely better and doesn't need to be pumped to get the car stopped.
