Holy ****.., you guys are not going to believe this!! After all the back and forth between SSBC and I for the last 4 to 5 weeks,.it ended up being the PO had the MC lines on the wrong ports!! On a GM (Corvette) MC, the rear port closest to the booster is for the rear brakes, he had it the other way around. What happened was I sent pictures to SSBC of the MC and booster mounted in the car a few weeks ago and he missed it the first time around. After sending me a new booster and MC, it still didn't work. On Wednesday I called SSBC and talked to the tech that's been on this issue and I asked him what could be the problem and I said what about the lines going into the MC. He said let me look at the pictures again and I'll get back to you. He and I were at our wits end with this. About 5 minutes later he called me back and said, the lines are in the wrong ports and I can't believe I/we missed that! Sooooo, I went out a got new lines because I just didn't want to reverse them and it to look like crap. After installing the new lines to the correct ports, I bled the entire system for the 20th time and bingo, car stops on a dime. I can't believe that it was that the entire time. I am really excited to say the least. I can drive the car and enjoy it. The good thing about this whole thing, is I ended up with a better conversion with better parts and it was free! I also learned a **** load about brakes. I have to say, that SSBC are great and back their products. The tech said that we won't give up until it's right and they didn't! I am going to upgrade and install the Hawk HP pads in the near future.
I just want to say thank you to all you guys here for the help in the other thread to get this resolved. I learned a lot about brakes going through this that I didn't know. Thanks again..!!
