Are the calipers on the rear steel, or aluminum. From what I understand, the steel (Delco-Moraine) caliper equipped disc brakes suck!

Thanx,ANDYZ28

don't stick dicks in your bird lol

you need to get the proportioning valve and the master cylinder off the donor car or else the braking force won't be distributed evenly. I think there was someone on the board that found how to adjust their stock prop valve, might wanna do a search
