Brakes are still pissin me off. Upgraded to sn95 front and stayed drums in the rear. Original master and really spongie. Back lock up first and when I drove up on the flatbed it took everything I had to keep the car from rolling back and it still creeped back. Air still? Master too small think its a 7/8 bore or bad proportioning?? Grrrt

Could be the master but have you done a proper bleed to it? Also did you make sure your bleeders are at the top? Have any hard lines been changed?

Same questions as above +.....
-sliders are free?
-pads not binding?
-decent quality pads?
-driven at least a short distance to properly bed pads?
-both pistons move freely?
-pads parallel? (meaning, are they old pads that may be worn crooked?)
-SN 95 brakes, what year?
-lines to maser cylinder run correctly? (run to correct port?)

All new 1994 gt calipers pads and rotors and lines. I am wondering about the lines hooked up properly. Does anyone have a diagram on wher the backs hook up to?? On my brake distribution block the rears are connected to the rear port closest to the firewall facing it.

Maybe try an adjustable prop valve?

well i think i figured it out..the shop i took it to to get all the brake lines redone and plumbed had two lines crossed on the distribution block where the stock prop valve is located. the rear brake line was where the driver side front supposed to be and the drivers side front was where the rears are supposed to go...what a bunch of hacks so i assume this would give me the issues i am having

Don't you hate it when you bring something to a professional and ends up you could have done better!!
