i really think if you got the proper booster you'd have more success. all the write ups include a new booster off mustangs who happen to have 4 wheel disk set ups....

so thats my best guess why you're having issues.

well i went and had the car bled and it has noticably more stopping power than before my thinking is that the tires provide so much traction (hoosier road race 275/40zr17's) that the weight of the car is still pushing the brakes and everything forward, i know thats not supposed to happen but its still a considerable improvement, i was able to lock up and skid the tire in my shp parking lot which is paved with concrete so a little more work and possibly manual brakes and i may be where i want it to.
