I have a 4 wheel disc setup from SSBC and and we just got the car running but the brakes arent right. We bled them a number of times and the car will stop but will not lock up any of the tires. We have a n adjustable prop valve with the no residual valve and a tee to the front brakes. Adjusting the prop valve does nothing. Also it looks like the pads on the front are working correctly on the front rotors but the back are only wearing about half of the their width fully but there is slight marks by the outer edge of the pads. The pedal feels okay and the booster is working. Any ideas? We have about 250 miles on the car since installing.

Let me know if you need more info. Once again the car stops but with 4 wheel disc it should be touchy. It just doesnt seem right.

what happens when you stomp the peddle as hard as you can?

I talked to a mechanic today and it looks like the rear pads need shimming. They are wearing fully on the inside but the outer pad is cocked. This explains why the del feels normal but the stopping power is poor. By the way the master came with the SSBC kit and the booster is working. An odd problem I guess.

Did you get a prop valve with the kit?

Yes, It has the SSBC prop valve.
