Reallt bad brake issue, can't figure it out.

I have a stock style brake system right now. I have line lock and a new MC. i have a new booster too, but have yet to install it. I know I should have done both at the same time, but I didn't have time.

My problem is that I can't lock up my brakes no matter how hard I push. They stop real well to a point, but in a pinch they wont lock up. What is the deal?

I bench bled my MC, I also bled my calipers to try and get any air out. I have no idea what the issue could be. Is there maybe air someplace that is "stuck"??

I am currently piecing together a C5 Z06 font and rear setup. I am getting backing pates from Eb Miller and my fronts from Neil (guy with the tucked 335s). I am going to get rear calipers from ebay.

I have stainless lines right now, but i really can't find the problem. I also have all braided line everywhere else. i have enough brake fluid. And no leaks.

I do all the work myself, but at this point I am so lost I am thinking about just getting ALL the parts and having some other place install all the brakes, new lines again and my adj prop. valve as well as my line lock. What do you think???

HELP!!

Re: Reallt bad brake issue, can't figure it out.

Don't mean to highjack your thread but I have some rear c5 Z06 calipers and abutments that I'm looking to sell. Pm me if your interested.

I can't help you with your problem, but I can tell you that upgrading the entire brake system will definately be more beneficial if you were all ready planning on upgrading. I am in the process of doing that exact thing while I have my suspension broken down. Good luck on your problem and pm me if you are interested in the rear calipers.
