A friend of mine and i just swappd his stock calipers (on his 90 GT) to the lincoln mark 7's, and we are having issues... they bolted right up but we had to get the brakes power bled because his dumb ass forgot to close the bleeders after we were thru (i had to leave when he was bleeding them)

anywho, he got it done, and says the front feels squirly now... the place he got them bled at said that he probably needs the older style master cylinder to proportion the brakes correctly..

any truth to that, or does anyone know a way to stiffen these things up. he says that the pedal is softer than when it was stock, and we both think that since the piston is bigger, and the pads are bigger, it should stop alot quicker.


HELP PLEASE!
