Brakes a bit soft after disk conv.

Well I finally finished my rear swap and went from drums to disk. Now the disks feel a bit soft, was far more responsive with the drum brakes. Any ideas of what to do?

They seem to be working correctly, except for a slight leak from the bandio(sp?) bolt.



Also I was looking at front brake kits and the only ones I found was the 1LE fo Spohn and a single piston wilwood kit. Any other ones?

You might be sucking air back into the system through that leaking banjo bolt...

Did you swap out the drum prop valve for a disc or adj valve?

No I did not. I was told that the stock one (flat prop valve) would be adequate. I was talking to another car guy that said I should get an adjustable prop valve. Though I have no Idea what I should set it to.

Since your car is a 92. The Drum Brake Prop Valve / Master Cylinder and Disc Brake Prop / Master Cylinder should be listed as identical part numbers.

Get your leaks fixed and bleed the system.
