Me and my buddy are having some difficulty trying to get the brakes to work on his neon. Originally the car had drums in the back but he did a rear disk conversion. The car has no ABS. He’s tried a couple different master cylinders but no matter what the combination the pedal is still always mushy. We have it rigged now so that all four caliphers should get equal braking power so to try to get some pedal, but even after bleeding the brakes its still mushy. He’s buying a proportional valve tommarrow to still for the rear brakes but would that make a difference? Maybe increase the pressure to the front? Any help or ideas would be great. Trying to get this situated by sat so we can auto-x sunday. ---
