Poor braking when first starting out
This is a 91RS with stock disc/drum brakes. When I first start out with the car after it has set for a few days it has little or no braking. Seem like the rear brakes do not work at all. After driving for a while braking improves, but still is not great.
I have replace the rear brake shoes, adjusted the rear brakes, and bleed the brake lines. No fluid leaks. I put the rear on jack stands and the rear brakes were unable to stop the wheels (either side) with the car idling in gear.
What do I try next. Master cylinder??? Prop Valve???

Most likely you need new rear wheel cylinders.

Re: BROKE BRAKE
Yes, I had followed that other thread. Even though that is for rear disc, it has many similarities.
As for the wheel cylinders, I think it is a possibility, however find it unusual that both sides would start doing this at the same time. I guess that is why I was thinking more in line with something that would effect both sides.
