...Well, the green machine is back on the road...

I replaced the master cylinder and power booster. But I'm still not happy with the brakes trying to stop this ZZ4 powered beast.

 Any thoughts on putting a different type of brakes on this thing? Any one ever modded theirs?

 Ya'll know I'm not a purist when it comes to this car.

Did you flush the system from back to front after the master cylinder/booster switch? I'm sure you did. How about the seals on the calipers and the front flex lines to the calipers. It sound like you have a small leak. I put drilled & slotted rotors on mine, it helped. Good Luck with your fix. wetvet2010-06-14 21:23:40
